Alone in the world
I'm alone in the world tonight
And nobody's listening to me
But it feels alright

Scraping a stick 'long a fence
In the thinning twilight
Falling in love with a face
In the foyer that's screaming by

'Cause I'm alone in the world tonight
Dancing with a traffic light
Looking for a dream but I
Come and get no reply
I'm alone in the world tonight

Well I hear the music
The sound of the distant drum beat
I ollie the curb and I skate along 17th street

'Cause somewhere a girl's trying on yet another outfit
And somewhere a party is starting
But I can't get into it

'Cause I'm alone in the world tonight
Dancing with a traffic light
Looking for a dream but I
Come and get no reply

And I'm screaming as loud as I can
'Cause I'm alone in the world tonight

When I hear the music
The sound of the distant drum beat
It's just like the sound of my wheels
On the cracks in the sidewalk at my feet

'Cause I'm alone in the world tonight
Dancing with a traffic light
Looking for a dream but I
Come and get no reply

And I'm screaming as loud as I can
'Cause I'm alone in the world tonight
I'm alone in the world tonight
