Well, if I’m in an existential funk
I find it helps if I get drunk
I take a single malt, I reach for Jean Paul Saltire
When I’m lonely
Being and nothingness
I will not accept anything less
There are monsters nevertheless
In Lochgelly and Loch Ness
Everyone’s acting a part
No essence, no brain or heart
Some of us have backbones
Some of us have smart phones
We’re all lonely
Oh, if you’re looking for sympathy
Or even profundity
Me, me, me
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I used to have a personality
But I killed him, now it’s just me
Now I’m just a dried husk
Everything that I touch
Makes me lonely
from the album Pointless by Jean Paul Saltire
