Please stay awake till the end of the night

When nothing's of the wrong

Please stay awake till I can find

The reason and the crime



Though I've seen of their happiness

I can only be down

Go take your soul

Make an ode to the lonely hearted



These broken dreams are not what they seem

They're so much more than this

I can't see how she won't think now

Of everything we'll miss



All the words that have gone before

May as well have been known

Go take your soul

Make an ode to the lonely hearted

Go take your soul make an ode to the lonely hearted



I know it's a real live story

But there's so little time

I know it's a real nice story

But it's easy to find



These cigarettes weren't really the thing

They're just to ease my mind

I wonder so if she'll ever know

Of all we've left behind



Of the thirty one dreams we've had

Thirty one were my own

Go take your soul

Make an ode to the lonely hearted

Go take your soul

Make an ode to the lonely hearted

Go take your soul

Make an ode to the lonely hearted
