Under the spotlight, The neon kiss Carnival barkers preen & twist Three for a quarter, 2 for a dime Broken Hearts General Store--Open all the time Chorus: I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you Tennis shoes strung across a telephone wire The sun sneaks up on my empire Tent for your castle with a bubblegum crown Me & my minions make the rounds I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you Bridge: I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you I draw a deep breath, The day is new I'm brave, I'm a hero, The world's bright & clear But my insides shrivel when you're not here Newspaper pile on my front porch The sun is winding up, its starting to scorch The air is dust & lungs are hot I keep making love to what is not I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you
