Why I'm Lonely Lyrics - Harvey Danger

Saint Leonard touched a Philistine 

A sacred tongue, a perfect rhyme 

But even he was not much nourished 

By modern love 

So I told her that everything she does is divine 

And she replied with a blank expression 

An object lesson and making me feel benign 

Then whispered, "Independence and indifference 

Are the wings which allow the heart to fly" 

Feelings I have had too often 

Still no plan in place 

To soften the inevitable blow 

The rituals we know 

And with the right revolting piety of tone 

The word freedom 

Can make you wanna lock yourself 

In a deep dark dungeon 

But everybody follows pleasure 

Everybody gets somewhere I swear 

I wish I could be there away 

Now it's absolutely clear to me 

That solitude is not the same as singularity 

But that's not why I'm lonely 

No that's not why I'm lonely
