Steve Poltz - One Left Shoe lyrics

Tennis shoe strung 'cross the telephone wire The sun creeps up on my empire Tin foil castle, bubble gum crown Me and my minions make the rounds I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you Under the spotlight a neon kiss Carnival barkers preen and twist Three for a quarter, one for a dime This broken heart general store is open all the time I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you I take a deep breath, the day is new I'm brave, i'm a hero The world's bright and clear But my insides shrivel when you're not here Newspapers piled on my front porch The sun's winding up, it's starting to scorch The air is dust, my lung's are hot I keep making love to what is not I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you
