Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's the mayor of Lonely Town, population, one
Population, one
Stare at a hole in the ground, starin' at the sun
[Verse 2]
And I'm startin' to feel like he might be real
Like he's somethin' I might become
Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population, one
[Verse 3]
See the mayor of Lonely Town standin' in the square
At the county fair
Shoutin' his message out, but there's no one there, oh, there
[Verse 4]
And the silence surrounds, but he's lost in the sound
Of their army of fifes and drums
Marchin' for mayor of Lonely Town, population, one
[Verse 5]
If you want to go to Lonely Town
Just pay the fare
Unless you're with me, then you'll get in for free
'Cause, baby, I know the mayor
[Verse 6]
No one seems to want to be near
They all run away
But deep inside, a song you can hear
Callin' out your name
[Verse 7]
Well, the mayor of Lonely Town, tuckin' into bed
Oh, oh, what's inside his head?
Visions of sugarplums and loneliness, oh, yes
[Verse 8]
Now we've all got to be what we want to be
But that doesn't seem quite so fun
To be the mayor of Lonely Town
Population starin' a hole in the ground
Population, mayor of Lonely Town
Population, one
