Song Description

Chapinesque ballad about two down-and-outers who happen upon each other on the ciy streets of the night

Lyrics

EVEN THE LOST AND LONELY

VERSE 1:
BY ALL ACCOUNTS IT WAS YET ANOTHER MOONLESS NIGHT
ANOTHER CHANCE ENCOUNTER ON THE BOULEVARD OF NEON LIGHTS
SHE WORKED THE NIGHT SHIFT, LIVING ON THE EDGE
HE WAS A DESPERATE MAN HANGING FROM THE LEDGE

VERSE 2:
HE NEEDED CONTACT LIKE A BEGGAR NEEDS A DIME
SHE NEEDED THE MONEY AND SHE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME
EACH TOOK WHAT THEY NEEDED AND THE OTHER HAD TO GIVE
AND IN THAT DIRTY CITY NIGHT THEY GAVE EACH OTHER REASON TO LIVE

CHORUS:
EVEN THE LOST AND LONELY GET LUCKY SOMETIMES
IN A MOMENT THAT MUCH SWEETER WHEN IT FINALLY ARRIVES
WASN'T IT THE WISE MAN TOLD US GOTTA TAKE WHAT WE FIND
AND TO THE TRUE BELIEVER GOES THE ELUSIVE PRIZE

VERSE 3:
SHE LAY HER DOWN BESIDE HIM AND GAVE IT ALL BUT DID NOT TAKE
SHE TOUCHED THE DARK INSIDE HIM, AND HELD HIM WHERE HE ACHED
HIS HUNGER BROUGHT HER CLOSER, CLOSER THAN SHE DARED
TILL FINALLY HE CONSUMED HER, THE CHILD'S SOUL SHE BARED

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4:
SHE NEVER TOOK THE MONEY HE LEFT UPON THE DRESSER DRAWER
HE NEVER HEARD HER FOOTSTEPS GLIDING SOFTLY OUT THAT DOOR
NOW SHE'S BACK UPON THE CITY STREET IN THE HARSH EARLY MORNING LIGHT
AND HE WOULD TAKE THE HARD WAY DOWN, NEVER GIVING UP THE FIGHT

REPEAT CHORUS
