lyrics

I was lonely,
So I made it out for the night,
closely,
Observing the barks and the bites,
And strangers,
Wonderfully chatting to me.

Moving,
Around the sparkling outlets on show,
I choose one,
The moment the propitiators go,
“Make him as unwelcome as any kid is here!”

Now the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?

I was lonely,
So I made it out for the door,
And quirk-er-ley, made back in for some more.
Losing any self-respect I ever had,
But gaining the confidence of an egotistical lad

Now the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?
Marking my pain on my face with a blow,
A reminder that, I never wanted to know,
What it was like here, in the first place,
All those years ago.

I was lonely,
So I never put up a fight,
Take me somewhere,
I can forget about my plight,
Losing all of the confidence of an egotistical lad

Because the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?
