janis ian – as far as lonely goes lyrics
[verse 1]
underneath the neon sign of harry’s bar and grill
someone hugs a bottle to take away the chill
oh, but the wind still blows
carries his sleeping soul
as far as lonely goes
[verse 2]
upstairs in a penthouse behind a golden door
someone’s drinking pink champagne to keep from being bored
between the highs and lows
the icy wind still blows
as far as lonely goes
[chorus]
you would never buy a bottle
to wash away your troubles
if you could buy a suitcase for your soul
you would make a pretty package
of all your extra baggage
lock it up and send it down the road
as far as lonely goes
[verse 3]
from the has+beens to the haves
from the mansions to the alleys from the riches to the rags
underneath our clothes
we’re all the same, you know
as far as lonely goes
[saxophone solo]
[chorus]
i would never buy a bottle
to wash away my troubles
if i could buy a suitcase for my soul
i would make a pretty package
of all my extra baggage
lock it up and send it down the road
as far as lonely goes
as far as lonely goes
