Vulfpeck – Lonely Town lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's the mayor of Lonely Town, population: one
Population: one
Staring a hole in the ground, staring at the sun (Oh, woah)
And I'm starting to feel like he might be real
Like he's something I might become
Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one

[Verse 2]
See the mayor of Lonely Town standing in the square
At the county fair
Shouting his message out, but there's no one there (Oh, there)
And the silence surrounds but he's lost in the sound
Of their army of fifes and drums
Marching for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one
(Sha, bada, bada, bada, bada)

[Verse 3]
If you want to go to Lonely Town
Just pay the fare (Babada, dabada, dabada)
Unless you're with me, then you'll get in for free, 'cause, baby
I know the mayor (Dadadoh)

[Bridge]
No one seems to want to be near; they all run away
But deep inside, a song you can hear, calling out your name


[Verse 4]
Well the mayor of Lonely Town, tucking into bed (Oh-oh)
What's inside his head?
Visions of sugarplums and loneliness (Oh, yes)
Now we've all got to be what we want to be
But that doesn't seem quite so fun

[Outro]
To be the mayor of Lonely Town, population
Staring a hole in the ground, population
Mayor of Lonely Town, population: One
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
