Splendid Isolation

Pete Yorn


I want to live alone in the desert 
I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe 
I want to live on the Upper East Side 
And never go down in the street 
Michael Jackson in Disneyland 
Don't have to share it with nobody else 
Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand 
And lead me through the world of self 
Splendid isolation 
I don't need no one 
Splendid isolation 

Don't want to wake up with on one beside me 
Don't want to take up with nobody new 
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first 
Don't want nothing to do with you 

I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows 
Lying down in the dark to dream 
I don't want to see their faces 
I don't want to hear them scream 
Splendid isolation 
I don't need no one 
Splendid isolation 
Splendid isolation 
I don't need no one 
Splendid isolation 

Don't want to wake up with no one beside me 
Don't want to take up with nobody new 
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first 
Don't want nothing to do with you
