I want to live alone in the desert
 I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe
 I want to live on the Upper East Side
 And never go down in the street
 
 Splendid Isolation
 I don't need no one
 Splendid Isolation
 
 Michael Jackson in Disneyland
 Don't have to share it with nobody else
 Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand
 And lead me through the World of Self
 
 Splendid Isolation
 I don't need no one
 Splendid Isolation
 
 Don't want to wake up with no one beside me
 Don't want to take up with nobody new
 Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
 Don't want nothing to do with you
 
 I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows
 Lying down in the dark to dream
 I don't want to see their faces
 I don't want to hear them scream
 
 Splendid Isolation
 I don't need no one
 Splendid Isolation
 
 Splendid Isolation
 I don't need no one
 Splendid Isolation
