Lyrics[]
Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost! Lost!
I fly a plane on Monday morning One on Tuesday, too He's always right beside me In his alligator shoes He likes to call me Henry But my name is Frank I’m just a guy from Reno Sometimes he calls me Hank
I think he's lost I think he's lonely But maybe he’s only In my mind
I think he's lost I think he's lonely But maybe he’s only In my mind
Whenever we hit town He laughs right in my face And says my spirit is a shallow Sack of human waste I wish that I could hate him But if the truth is told I cannot separate him From an echo in my soul
