The Lonely One Is You Video (MV)

The grand magician he laughs
As he plays tricks on all of you
But in the kings grand court room
The jester plays the fool

And cradled by his thrown
Like a relic bathed in dust
The tarnished king just sits there
As his crown begins to rust

Whilst all around the nobles
They talk of war and peace
But all the while they fight
When it was beauty killed the beast

And you may stand around and laugh
But there is nothing you can do
And it doesn't really matter 'cause
The lonely one is you

Now standing at the alter
A lonely pauper's bride
He stole her cloak and dagger and then
Robbed her of her pride

And the priest he let her be
As she won't stay here for very long
As she passes Romeo with Juliet
And holds here jealous tongue

You see, she knows guilty men seek pleasure
In the alleys and the streets
Where misery seeks company
And knocks you off your feet

And in the boarded up old theatre
The sunlight seeps on through
And casts a shadow on the silver screen where
The lonely one is you

Now the life begins to drain
From his old and weathered face
As Dr. Jeckle is just stood there
Whilst Hyde, he leaves without a trace

And now he's all alone and
Whisky stains his breath
He's been tryin' to keep those demons back
But the dead they never rest

'It wasn't me'! He shouted
It was the devil who did the crime
But nobody could find him
So, yours truly did the time

And as he peers out beyond the bars
At his concrete prison view
He sinks his head, as the warden he says
Well the lonely one is you

Now, the cracks they start a' showing
And life begins to take its toll
But you know when you're in trouble when
Millionaires are on the dole

And though these walls have no ears
And prying eyes they cannot see
Your disguise it still looks cheap
With every lie you throw at me

Now all the heroes flee
And the saints they follow too
Well I've never needed anyone
And I sure as Hell do not need you

And you can follow your gods to Hell
'Cause you really ain't got a clue
And you can preach till the sun burns out
But still the lonely one is you
