Lyrics

I Touch the Loneliness - drawing by Harvey Dog for the 1992 Bad Etiquette song "I Touch the Loneliness".

I touch the loneliness
with my fingertips,
talk is talk and alone
with my thoughts
I dream of happiness
so close, yet so far away,
and the damage, yes, the
damage is done.

I sit in the corner
praying for a smoke,
a nicotine surprise,
a surprise I can
call my own
before I die like a
lamb in the field,
surrounded by weasels
with teeth sharpened
and honed.
