lyrics

I wish Ancient Aliens would take you away
They’re all that you talk of, every day
You just lie around, watching TV
You like that sofa, better than me
You like that sofa, better than me
*****
Why oh why, is he still here
Why can’t I whisper the words in his ear
Why can’t I work up the courage to say
I know you don’t love me: fine; go away.
*****
We met on a night drinking whiskey and wine
You showed me yours, and I showed you mine
Thought it was romance, the way that I do
Chasin’ my fantasies like they were true.
Chasin’ my fantasies like they were true.
*****
Why do I go on this way
Year after year, and night after day
Bringin’ home every Tom, Dick and Sam
Thinking each time, I’ve found the right man
*****
Lord, is it them, or is it me
That they never are what I hoped they would be
Why is this notion stuck in my head
That nothing is worse than an empty bed
*****
Am I having my fun, or racing my fate
Knowing too long could end up too late
A desperate man who sees his life flown
An old fag afraid of dyin’ alone
*****
Why can’t I work up the courage to be
Alone with myself, ‘til someone loves me
At peace with myself, ‘til someone loves me.
