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 (isolation, isolation)
In isolation (isolation, isolation)
My empty hands (isolation, isolation)
In isolation (isolation)

Walking down the broken highway
Sucking sugar 'cause it's my way
Find me one heart to complete with
Heading for the farthest beaches

I need some lovin'
Like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin'
Like a fastball needs control

Here I stand (isolation, isolation)
In isolation (isolation, isolation)
My empty hands (isolation, isolation)
In isolation (isolation, isolation)
Strike up the band (isolation, isolation)
In this proud land (isolation, isolation)

Got a lot to do, got a lot to say
Got a life to live, got a lot to do
Got a lot to say, got a life to live
Got a lot to do

Here I stand (isolation, isolation)
In isolation (isolation, isolation)
In isolation
