Lonely Island
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city
I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame have pity
I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea
Nobody will believe me, Nobody seems to care
How lonely, how lonely can you be
I walk around the city
My heart sends out a flare
Baby, baby, baby won't you rescue me
