There's a story
A story about an old man
And you all know him
And you'll forget him right away
Too many people just like him
Just like him
Yet he's all alone
He wears his bathrobe
He drags his feet
He keeps the shutters down
Every night and day
He worries greatly
About trails in the sky
There's no one there
When he laughs
And he is frightened
And he really hates this world
Such a lonely old man
Such a sad little life
Such a lonely old man
Lonely old man
It's his birthday
He stumbles home
He trips and falls
Cracks his head
Blood on the pavement
No one missed him
'Til he was late for work
Does no one care
If he lives
Or if he dies here?
And he really hates this world
Such a lonely old man
Such a sad little life
Such a lonely old man
Lonely old man
There's a story
A story about an old man
And you all know him
And you'll forget him right away
Too many people just like him
Just like him
Maybe he's falling
Maybe he's fine
Change might be coming
Just not this time
He may look confused now
But he's got it figured out
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave, leave
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
Leave him alone
