Lonely Guy

I'm a lonely guy
In the yellow city,
A place without pity,
Dirty and gritty,
A town in decline
In a world - not mine,
My family and job
Are both gone,
I'm lost and alone,
I stew in my dingy room
In a stage of gloom,
No future - no past,
My luck fading fast,
I'm sick and broke,
I cannot last,
I'm bitter and old,
Miserable and cold,
This whole world
Gives me the chills,
I'll just blot it out
And take those pills...

Landlady found him
The next day,
Called the City
To take him away,
No family, friends,
That's how it ends...
