One Left Shoe — текст песни (Steve Poltz)

Tennis shoe strung cross the telephone wire

The sun creeps up on my empire

Tin foil castle, bubble gum crown

Me and my minions make the rounds



Im lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

Im lonely

Without you



Under the spotlight a neon kiss

Carnival barkers preen and twist

Three for a quarter, one for a dime

This broken heart general store is open all the time



Im lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

Im lonely

Without you



Im a little cocoon just blooming for you

I take a deep breath, the day is new

Im brave, Im a hero

The worlds bright and clear

But my insides shrivel when youre not here



Newspapers piled on my front porch

The suns winding up, its starting to scorch

The air is dust, my lungs are hot

I keep making love to what is not

Im lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

Im lonely

Without you
