Joe Jackson - Solo (So Low) lyrics

Solo – It isn't a dream So low – It's just what it seems An empty thing Waiting on somebody who never calls Listening In the night to something scratching round behind the walls Solo – With no one to care So low – The cupboards are bare So now to dine On three stale crackers and a fifth of gin And say you're fine Feeling like something that the dog dragged in Oh one has to laugh Still safe and warm With peace of mind After storms Solo – You stare into space So low – Scared to look at your face Scared to find Someone in the mirror who you can't recall Pale and lined Talking to himself and saying f** 'em all Though one must admit Chances are few To try to be Someone new Though one gets to play With no referee Peace at last Guaranteed
