Horslips - Lonely Hearts

Night has fallen again,
And I hardly even saw the day
I just got out of bed And somebody said,
We're leaving right away.

So I grabbed a cup of coffee
And made a bee-line for the door
As we drove through the night I could see the city lights
In the distance once more.

Neon spells out my name
But I enter from the alley outside
All the faces I can see
Think they own a piece of me
There are times when I just want to hide.

Sometimes I sit and ask myself
Where is it going to end
I sit and wonder what keeps me going
Keeps me happy when I'm travelling round.

Time is slipping away
Every show is a lifetime gone
For a summers living wage
I drag myself on stage
Singing someone elses song.

Though my face is on the posters
And my name is in the charts
My only claim to fame
Is I look like easy game
To a million lonely hearts.

Night has fallen again
One more number will end the show
When I get back to my bed
Golden slumbers fill my head
And the song becomes a dream.
