It's a long way to nowhere 
And I'm leaving very soon 
On the way we pass so close 
To the back side of the moon 

Hey join the traveler 
If you've got nowhere to go 
Hang your head and take my hand 
It's the only road I know 
Oh! Lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah! 

I've been higher than stardust 
I've been seen upon the sun 
I used to count in millions then 
But now I only count in one [bad word] on, join the traveler 
If you got nowhere to go 
Hang your head and take my hand 
It's the only road I know 

Yeah, Lonely is the word 
Got to be the saddest song I've ever heard 

Yeah, Lonely is the name 
Maybe life's a losing game
