Unloved

(performed by jann arden and jackson browne from her album living under june)



There will be no consolation prize

This time the bone is broken clean

No baptism, no reprise and no sweet taste of victory

All the stars have fallen from the sky

And everything else in between

Satellites have closed their eyes

The moon has gone to sleep

Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved...



Here i am inside a hotel

Choking on a million words i said

Cigarettes have burned a hole

And dreams are drunk and penniless

Here i am inside my father's arms

All jagged bone and whisky dry

Whisper to me sweetly now and tell me i will never die

Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved



Here i am an empty hallway

Broken window, rainy night

I am nineteen sixty-two and i am ready for a fight

People crying hallelujah

While the bullet leaves the gun

People falling, falling, falling

And i don't know where they're falling from

Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved



Hoping that the kindness will lead us

Past the blindnes and

Not another living soul

Will ever have to feel

Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved

Unloved... unloved...
