They know my face they set a place for me tonight
Well I can't disappoint them so I guess I join them
They've been waiting on me forever
I've been down on earth and in this town
Man there's got to be something better

New suit
New tie
Real nice service for me when I die
New suit cufflinks and a new tie
Real nice service for me when I die

That's the thing about living
When you get there you're seldom forgiven
And all your best friends are people that you just met
You can take 'em or leave 'em
They're sitting in this barroom
I guess that beats the hell out of loneliness
Sweet loneliness
Sweet loneliness

We're the type we live and learn
Scatter my ashes and smash the urn
Into a broken room with 25 doors that you can open
Each time you open one the other 24 are exploding

That's the thing about living
When you get there you take what you're given
And all your best friends are people that you just met
You can take 'em or leave 'em
They're sitting in this barroom
I guess that beats the hell out of loneliness
Sweet loneliness
Sweet loneliness
