Life’s a lonely business
When you’re always moving on,
The price I pay, the world needs me,
I’m the only one.
Can’t make friends, watch what you say,
Study every word.
Look for hidden messages.
Listen - they’ll be heard.
Tin-opener wouldn’t work today,
An act of sabotage?
They’ve all got it in for me.
But I am still at large.
Enemies on the corner,
Spies are on the stair.
Sometimes when I wake up
They’re clinging to my hair.
Especially watch the neighbours -
Beware their sickly grins.
If they ask you round for coffee,
It’s a trap. Do not go in.
I’m the world’s saviour.
I’m not saying this in fun.
But life’s a lonely business
When you’re The Chosen One.
