I'm tired, I'm cold, I'm lonely, I'm old
i feel lost, i feel angry, i feel empty, I'm told!
you need help, you need medication, you need specialist care!
all from the one's, whose love i should share

every night I'm alone, a silent ring phone
only myself i have to atone
i fall asleep with monotonous programs on air
is there anyone out there, whose life i can share?

life's past me by, its just me and her
love's held by a thread, in a world that's not fair
the loneliness drapes me, as black as a cloud
She's gone again now, I'm just a face in the crowd

There's people that love me, that I've never met
we talk about life on the 'internet'
they are so far away, not like next door
my friend is the mouse, and the screen my 'amour'
