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 living 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
