One Left Shoe Lyrics - Steve Poltz

Tennis shoe strung 'cross the telephone wire 

The sun creeps up on my empire 

Tin foil castle, bubble gum crown 

Me and my minions make the rounds 

I'm lonely without you 

Just like one left shoe 

I'm lonely without you 

Under the spotlight, a neon kiss 

Carnival barkers preen and twist 

Three for quarter, one for a dime 

This broken heart general store is open all the time 

I'm lonely without you 

Just like one left shoe 

I'm lonely without you 

I'm a little cocoon, just bloomin' for you 

I take a deep breath, the day is new 

I'm brave, I'm a hero, the world's bright and clear 

But my insides shrivel when you're not here 

Newspapers piled on my front porch 

The sun's winding up, it's starting to scorch 

The air is dust, my lungs are hot 

I keep making love to what is not 

I'm lonely without you 

Just like one left shoe 

I'm lonely without you
