[Verse 1]
Righteousness is its own reward
Solitude is what I shoot for
What good's behind me now
It doesn't count
bu*terflies and the hangers on
Come by my house, see the lights on
They want to have their say
At my front gate
[Bridge]
Well I don't know what to tell you man
It has really been too long
Whatever I had to give away
Whatever I had to give away
Is gone
[Verse 2]
A broken heart is a natural d**h
But to never love, that is tragic
And the far worse of the two
I can a**ure you
It's never hard to make a fast friend
Someone to dance till the song ends
The trick is getting loose
Once they got you
[Bridge]
Well I don't know what to tell you kid
Though it really is too bad
All that I tried to push away
All that I tried to push away
Came back
[Outro]
All that crowded loneliness made for a long day
All that crowded loneliness gave me a long face
Everywhere I go I think I went the wrong way
All that crowded loneliness made for a long day
