Stay close to your television tonight Wrap your arms around its cold, dull light 'Cause it's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive Tell me how many people do you really know? How long will it be before they go? I don't know, It's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive Everything you do will be erased The moment that you leave, you'll be replaced And you won't know, It's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive I've been waiting for something that never comes And everything of any worth's been done And I've been lying in here with mediocrity surrounding me And I've been living in fear of disappearing No one hearing me It's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive It's a low, lonely time to be alive
