Loyal To No One

I first meet this man at the Capen Street Tracks
In no shape for success
Headed nowhere too fast

He may have been someone once
By the sound of his call
Now he answers to no one
No one at all

We all die alone
He shouted as he passed
With no sense of regret
See he never looked back

For his pride was wounded
His ego was strong
Yeah, that was his trouble a
And this is his Song

You said “we die alone”
In this case you were right
No friends by your side
Or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash
Cause you leave it behind

His friends come & go
Like the seasons & tide
He can’t keep a woman
They all realize

He loves them leaves them
Takes what he needs
He’s loyal to no one
No one at all

You were brought up well
Still in spite of it all
You’re touched by nothing
Watch a man fall
Put a foot on his back
To get a better view
Cause you’re loyal to no one
No one but you

You said “we die alone”
In this case you were right
No friends by your side
Or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash
Cause you leave it behind

He was broken & tired
Wouldn’t take a hand
Their kindness was simple
But he couldn’t understand

See it’s hard to have faith
In something so new
When you’re loyal to no one
No one but you

You said “we die alone”
In this case you were right
No friends by your side
Or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash
Cause you leave it behind

You said “we die alone”
In this case you were right
No friends by your side
Or family in sight
