Lyrics:
from July 27 2013 version

Yes I'm lonely, wanna die
Yes I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why

In the morning, I wanna die
In the evening, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why

My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
And I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
Yes I'm lonely, gonna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why

The eagle picks my eyes
Worm he licks my bones
Feels so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why

The eagle picks my eyes
Worm he licks my bones
Feels so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why

Yes I'm lonely
Wanna die
Yes I'm lonely
Wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Girl you know the reason why
