I'm staying in the city
In the dim light I feel complete
Though the plaster walls

I've worked long and hard for
Are moving in


You will find me sleeping
Without a single soul around
Someone unwinding

In a lonesome part of town

In my best dress and make-up

To meet the night I can hardly reach the sink
Everything's @@#!-eyed
To the drunk that I'm turning into

I've turned into

You will find me sleeping

Without a single soul around
Someone unwinding
In a lonesome part of town


I don't want your sympathy
When I go to speak

Stop and listen to me
Don't turn away
From the words of the gray and aging.


You will find me sleeping
Without a single soul around

Someone unwinding
In a lonesome part of town Lonesome town.
