Needed you, you were only using
Needing you just tore me down
Here I stand in isolation
Feeling emptiness and doubt
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar plain and sweet
Did your mother ever tell you
That the joyful are the free?
I need some lovin'
Like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin'
Like a poet needs a rhyme
Here I stand
In isolation
My empty hands
In isolation
Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar 'cause it's my way
Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin'
Like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
Like a fastball needs control
Here I stand
In isolation
My empty hands
In isolation
Strike up the band
In this proud land
Got a lot to do, got a lot to say
Got a life to live
Here I stand
In isolation
