Sometimes a Lonely Way - They Might Be Giants

Not everyone you’ve abandoned

Is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is

Wondering why

Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan

We can see it now, the scratches

On the back of the door

We can see it now, no mistaking

What you’re better for

Sometimes a lonely way

Taken alive in an uncivil war

Trophies and glass displays

Rehearsals for third place, forever more

Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah

Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah

Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah

Not everyone you’ve abandoned

Is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is

Wondering why

Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan
