Alone in the world, I'm alone
in the world tonight
And nobody's listening to me
but it feels all right
Scraping a stick along a fence
in the fading twilight
Falling in love with a face in a
Ford
that's screaming by

'Cause I'm alone in the world
tonight
Dancing with the traffic lights
Looking for a dream,
but I
call and qet no reply
I'm alone in the world tonight

When I hear the music, the
sound

of the distant drum-beat,
I ollie the curb and I
skate along 17th street
'Cause Somewhere a girl's trying on
yet another outfit
and somewhere a party is starting
but I can't get into it

'Cause I'm alone in the world
tonight
Dancing with the traffic lights
Looking for a dream,
but I
call and get no reply
And I'm screaming as loud as I
can
'Cause I'm alone in the world
tonight

When I hear the music, the sound
of the distant drum-beat,
it's just like the sound of my
wheels
on the cracks in the sidewalk
at my feet

'Cause I'm alone in the world
tonight
Dancing with the traffic lights
Looking for a dream,
but I
call and get no reply

And I'm screaming as loud as I
can
'Cause I'm alone in the world
tonight
I'm alone in the world tonight
