Lonliest Guy In the World

Have you ever felt so lonely that you felt like a circus freak? Me too.
It was a rainy night in memory when the circus came to town. There was a big ol crowd of people, they were standing all around. I said "Hey what's up, what's down, what's going on with you? Might you be staying long or are you just passing thru?" They said "We came for you to add you to our show, a hit attraction wherever we may go" and as they spoke to me a flag they did unfurl, above my head it said "The Lonliest Guy in The World"
Now if I stood there an hour, guess I stood there all day. Hoping April flowers might somehow bring me May, I said "Hey what's in, what's out, what's happening to me?" "Open up your blinded eyes that in darkness you might see"
You only came for me to add me to your show, now I'm the biggest star, wherever we may go, to think I'm here love's joke, I owe it to a girl, I guess I really am the lonliest guy in the world.
