Sometimes I'm sad and I don't know why,
I sit under the stars and I almost cry,
And at times like these, you know, I'm lonely and I wanna die,
When your looking for a cigarette to ease your pain,
And your life's a drag, and you work in vain,
Burn down your office, and walk out into the rain.
Life is short, you gotta look around,
Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up,
With dead-eyed kids, and a life of hell,
Stick with me, and we'll feel swell,
Lonely hearts company,
Selling shares in sympathy,
Lonely hearts company,
Share with me your misery...
Well I don't like to smoke, 'cause it sinks your cash,
And I don't roll notes, 'cause it ain't that flash,
But at times like these, you know I feel like getting trashed,
Yet the thing about you, is that you see me through,
And I can sit around and just talk to you,
This world is such a cynical place, people can be so cruel...
Life is short, you gotta look around,
Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up,
With dead-eyed kids, and a life of hell,
Stick with me, and we'll feel swell,
Lonely hearts company,
Selling shares in sympathy,
Lonely hearts company,
Share with me your misery,
Lonely hearts company,
Selling shares in sympathy,
Lonely hearts company,
Share with me your misery.
