We Are All Alone in This World

by Nick Jaina

funny how I was lost for you
you made my friends interview
you wrote them off for all time

you didn’t understand the bluff
you thought two sevens were enough
you lost the meaning for the rhyme

we are all alone in this world
somebody ought to write a song
the late night hours are a danger zone
we are all alone, we are all alone

now I am sleeping in your house
how long was it till we found out
which of us was on the take?

I thought I had your king in check
oh, with the blade up to his neck
and you’d made all the moves you could make

but we are all alone in this world
somebody ought to make a note
if your love is the earth,
then mine is a granite stone
we are all alone, we are all alone

and if there really is a God
like what John the Baptist saw
please tell him I am sorry

and if you’re drinking whiskey bourbons
because my words make you nervous
please believe that I am sorry

we are all alone in this world
and all we have is what we love
I love your voice when you’re on the phone
and we are all alone
we are all alone
we are all alone
