He's the mayor of Lonely Town, population: one Population: one Staring a hole in the ground, staring at the sun (Oh, woah) And I'm starting to feel like he might be real Like he's something I might become Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one See the mayor of Lonely Town standing in the square At the county fair Shouting his message out But there's no one there (Oh, there) And the silence surrounds but he's lost in the sound Of their army of fifes and drums Marching for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one (Sha, bada, bada, bada, bada) If you want to go to Lonely Town Just pay the fare (Babada, dabada, dabada) Unless you're with me Then you'll get in for free, 'cause, baby I know the mayor (Dadadoh) No one seems to want to be near; they all run away But deep inside, a song you can hear Calling out your name Well the mayor of Lonely Town, tucking into bed (Oh-oh) What's inside his head? Visions of sugarplums and loneliness (Oh, yes) 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 Staring a hole in the ground, population Mayor of Lonely Town, population: One (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
