Lyrics to Numbered Lithograph



When you left me at the table to got to the ATM

I’ve never been lonelier



Your cell-phone it shuttered and blinked, it was your

boyfriend again

I’ve never been lonelier,



A light-skinned black held a Charles Rennie Macintosh

numbered lithograph



I moved to the end of the southern line and lost most of

my friends

I’ve never been lonelier



A bird flew in my house one day, and he panicked and

thrashed

Up against the window glass he crashed and crashed

I’ve never been lonelier



The boy recoiled as he got out of the heated pool

It was midnight
