VERSE 1
I can't call any more
When I do they just close the door
Nobody answers their phone
Leaving me here all alone
I just wanna talk to someone
But any chance of that is long gone
They all used to be my friend
Will this loneliness ever end

CHORUS
What did I do that was so wrong
Sitting here singing my lonely song
Every time I raise my head
Fills me with fear and dread
Sitting in my Motel room
Humming this lonely tune
Just playing on Earthworm Jim
Until I can show my face again

VERSE 2
I tried to make things right
In my own way, try as I might
I tried to save the industry
But they all just laughed at me
Saying that I'd lost my mind
Writing things that were so unkind
Now that the money's all gone
I just have to get my game on

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Now when the telephone rings
Its strangers trying to sell me odd things
Playing my games from MAME
With no one to talk to it's not the same
I just got to serve my time
The punishment doesn't fit the crime
Some time it will all be alright
A new day out of this dark night

CHORUS
