[Verse 1]
You laugh at the people who walk outside on the sidewalk
And you talk to yourself so much
When you see other people you can't talk
This time it's true
The charade is through
And you can't seem to run away from you
Away from you

[Chorus]
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?

[Verse 2]
You sit at your desk to lose your life in letters
But the words don't seem to come
And you know that they better
And it's all so strange
Pictures lose their frames
And I'll bet you never guessed
There was so much pain
So much pain

[Chorus]
'Til the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
[Verse 3]
The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly
You loved your love so much that you'd strangle her gladly
And it's all so slow
Time has ceased to flow
And the whistling whore knows something you don't know

[Chorus]
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?

[Verse 4]
You swore you'd store your love for one time only
Now you searched the books in vain
For a better word for lonely
And you're torn apart
No other love will start
And you feel you'd like to steal a happy heart
A happy heart

[Chorus]
Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
[Verse 5]
The fat official smiles at the pass on the border
And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order
You pull the shade
All the beds are made
As your lips caress the razor of the blade
Of the blade

[Chorus]
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Stands rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?

[Verse 6]
The soul of the sun shines just outside of the winter
The shoulders charge the boards of the barricade, a splinter
Now at last alone
The flashlight is shone
Hello, inside, is there anybody home?
Anybody home?

[Chorus]
It's the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
Standing rejectedly by the door
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
