Lonely I see
Lonely I lead
Lonely I feel

Lonely I bleed
Lonely I trust
And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck

The plow on the farm

The train on the track
The tracks on my arm
The train in a wreck

That's when they all seem to swarm
Not when you are all alone
In your home with the broken neck


Help myself to a drink
Help myself to the sink

The dogs start to moan
And the crows start to peck
At my eyes and down at the ground

Oh and it shows
I'm the rose with the broken neck


Lonely I see
Lonely I lead
Lonely I feel

And lonely I bleed
Lonely I trust
And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck
