Quarantine

Quarantine
2020 Paul Rogers

I never knew my living room had a hole in the ceiling
I know I oughta fix that thing, but not the way I’m feeling
I never read so many books, even when I had to
Ain’t gonna worry ‘bout my looks today

They got me here in quarantine, oh quarantine
Never known such a lonely thing

Did you know that Cary Grant never won an Oscar?
And Paul McCartney wrote “The Fool On Hill” alone.
I seen people playing poker making million dollar bets
I’ve seen rednecks raising tigers just for pets

They got me here in quarantine, oh quarantine
Never known such a lonely thing
Sing it with me one time
Quaratine, oh quarantine
I’ve never known such a lonely thing

Well there’s a silent night coming on again
I can’t find no friend to comfort me
I keep on Zooming you
But you aren’t coming through
I can’t make no connection
I’ve got nothing on the line

I never knew Frankenstein was the name of the doctor
I didn’t know the monster never had his own name
And I never went to Vietnam, but I know a lot about it now
And I know I’m never gonna be the same

They got me here in quarantine, oh quarantine
I’ve never known such a lonely thing
Sing it with me one time
Quarantine, oh quarantine
Never known such a lonely thing
