He's the mayor of lonely town
Population one
Population one
Staring at hole in the ground
Staring at the sun
And I'm starting to feel
Like he might be real
Like he's something I might become
Marching for mayor of lonely town
Population one

See the mayor of lonely town
Standing in the square
At the county fair
Shouting his message out
But there's no one there, oh there
And the silence surrounds but
He's lost in the sound
Of their army of fifes and drums
Marching for mayor of lonely town
Population one

If you want to go to lonely town
Just pay the fare
Babada, babada, babada
Unless you're with me
Then you'll get in for free
'Cause baby
I know the mayor
Dadadoh
No one seems to want to be new
They all run away
But deep inside of soul you can have
Caught in a nutshell, not yet

Well the mayor of lonely town
Tucking into bed, oh
What's inside his head
Visions of sugarplums
And a loneliness, oh yes
Now we've all gotta be
What we want to be
But that doesn't seem quite so fun
To be the mayor of lonely town
Population
Staring at hole in the ground
Population
Mayor of lonely town
Population one
Aahhh
