I first meet this man by the Capen Street tracks,
In no shape for success, headed nowhere to fast,
He may have been someone once by the sound of his call,
Now he answers to no one, no one at all!
‘We all die alone!' he shouted as he passed
With no sense of regret, see, he never looked back.
For his pride was wounded, his ego was strong,
Yeah, that was his trouble and this is his song.
You said we die alone, in this case you were right,
No friends by your side or family in sight.
There'll be no talking your way out this time,
So don't count the cash, ‘cause you leave it behind.
His friends come and go like the seasons and tide,
He can't keep a women, they all realize,
He loves them, leaves them, takes what he needs,
He's loyal to no one, no one at all!
You were brought up well, still in spite of it all
You're touched by nothing, watch a man fall,
Put a foot on his back to get a better view,
‘Cause your loyal to no one, no one but you!
You said we die alone, in this case you were right,
No friends by your side or family in sight.
There'll be no talking your way out this time,
So don't count the cash, ‘cause you leave it behind.
He was broken and tired, wouldn't take a hand,
Their kindness was simple, but he couldn't understand.
See, it's hard to have faith in something so new,
When your loyal to no one, no one but you!
You said we die alone, in this case you were right,
No friends by your side or family in sight.
There'll be no talking your way out this time,
So don't count the cash, ‘cause you leave it behind.
You said we die alone, in this case you were right,
No friends by your side or family in sight.
