Lonely Videos - Dirk Hamilton

You take him high, I'll take him low

and by the time he gets back on his feet

we'll be somewhere he can't follow

He's a stuck repeater

with all the courage of a woman beater

A fearful heart

and a jealous mind

make him the most dangerous kind

but it's anything goes

now everyone's directing their own

Lonely Video

The bloodstains of a boxer, on a hotel room pillow
and its running red
what should be running clear (or yellow)
and the life-defying
sounds of people laughing, betting, buying
do not tempt him to cheat
cause him defeat
or wake him from a knockout sleep
Ya gotta keep on your toes
when you star in your own
Lonely Video

Yesterday I woke and half my life was gone
All tangled up inside I got up
and put my own lonely video on
Why did those friends desert me?
Why'd the one I gave my heart to hurt me?
Then I felt my soul
say "let it go
trust and relinquish control"
because it's pay as you go
when you're making your own
Lonely Video

The colorblind chameleon told the black butterfly
"I am only what they made me, so excuse my tongue when you try to fly"
And the bearded lady
dreams of being a ballerina someday maybe
While the stock cars crash
volcanic ash
sparkles in the camera flash
and it looks like snow
falling over those
making their own
