Mama called saying, where have you been? I said Mama, Ive been busy at home worrying She said, well you know, your poor old uncle died I said, I got tears of my own that need their crying I aint got the time to worry about reality Im busy dreaming up tragic potentialities Always prepared for any trouble unseen Thanks to the loneliness in me Yeah the loneliness in me, oh that loving misery My only friend in a world of unpredictability I sit up on my worried throne in a queendom that I rule alone Now thats the loneliness in me The big boss called saying, where have you been?
