Toast To Loneliness

 Acid rain falls down on candy glass houses
He drinks champagne,
While she’s out buying pretty blouses
Here’s a toast to loneliness he says
As he steps into his brand new Mercedes Benz

Isn’t this, isn’t this what we wanted
Isn’t this what all the working was for
Why do I feel so disenchanted
Why do I still want more

Smog stained streaks of pink and green paint the skies
Suns are setting every day on shattered horizons
Time keeps passing
Slowly harassing him
Masked as the high gas prices
Still rising

Isn’t this, isn’t this what we wanted
Isn’t this what America’s for
Why do I feel so stoic and haunted
Why do I still want more

He slowly turns the key
And waits as the Angel of Darkness
Comes and sets him free
No more tears, no more drinks alone
No more dreams of coming home

(lie to die, lie to die, lie to die)
