[Verse 1]
To be lost and lonesome
To be so far from home, son
To be casting shadows
In the dead of the night
[Verse 2]
To have what you wanted
To be free but haunted
Always running the gauntlet
In the dead of the night
[Chorus 1]
In the hall of nothingness
Love stands so motionless
In the house, the house of the man
The man of want
The man of want
[Verse 3]
Never mind my name, boy
If you love to share the blame, boy
If you don't want to go back the way you came
In the dead of the night
[Verse 4]
To get what you wanted
To be free but haunted
Always running the gauntlet
Always running the gauntlet
In the dead of the night
[Chorus 2]
In the hall of nothingness
A boy stands so motionless
In the house, the house of the man
The man of want
The man of want
[Verse 1]
To be lost and lonesome
To be so far from home, son
To be casting shadows
In the dead of the night
[Chorus 3]
In the hall of nothingness
We all stand so motionless
In the house, the house of the man
The man of want
The man of want
[Outro]
Go, Lisa, go
Take 'em down that long old lonesome highway
I know there's a piano comin'
Ain't no turning back
