Only When I’m Lonely Am I Free

[Verse 1]
When the June day is dense
With the teacher so intense
That they cage your common sense
While they come to the defense of other actors
Then I think of taking time
To let dancing blow in line
And like gently flowing rhymes
Crush the cobwebs from the chimes of childish laughter

[Refrain]
Oh, the world is sadly lacking honesty
And only when I'm lonely am I free

[Verse 2]
When the dreamers sit to deal
On defining right from real
With a sword of stainless steel
Cutting corners on a wheel to speed its turning
Then I know it’s time to go
Where the dancing ribbons flow
Through the air and far below
Where the endless candle glow is always burning

[Refrain]
And the world is sadly lacking honesty
And only when I'm lonely am I free

[Verse 3]
When the men with egg-shaped heads
Start forgetting that they're dead
And demand to be well-fed
On the calm and quiet red of people’s blood streams
I retreat with open eyes
In fantastic amber sky
And the universal sighs
That I hear when no one lies in wait for my dreams

[Refrain]
Oh, the world is sadly lacking honesty
And only when I'm lonely am I free

[Outro]
Yeah, the world is sadly lacking honesty
And only when I'm lonely am I free
