Lyrics:

Extra, extra
Read all about my loss of sanity
I have often wondered what my life
Really means to me
Wasted days and broken dreams
Let it all slip away from me
And if you pick up the pieces of a broken man
You'll find a fan of the family
Yeah, the family
Yeah

Now you're all alone in the meadow
Sedate your lonely soul
With the man in the meadow
No need to telephone
When you're out in the meadow
'Cause you live your life alone
With the man in the meadow, and me

Saw a friend of mine
Guess he just didn't see me
I looked into his eyes
And he walked right through me
He lived a life of alibies
And broken ties that set him free
Yeah, free
Yeah, free

And why'd this dream fade so fast?
And why am I lookin' towards the past to set me free
From me and my family? Yeah
My family, yeah, yeah

Set down beside your grave
At peace with God and the holy slave
We're gathered here to shed a tear
And think about our goddamn mortal years
You had your start, you made your mark
And then you turn around and leave us in the dark, fuck!
In the dark (go!), yeah (yeah, yeah)

(Now you're alone, you're alone) now you're all alone in the meadow
Sedate your lonely soul
With the man in the meadow
Ain't no need to telephone (no need to telephone)
(You're in the meadow, man) when you're out in the meadow
(Live your life alone) 'cause you live your life alone
With the man in the meadow

(Yeah, alone) now you're all alone in the meadow
Sedate your lonely soul
With the man in the meadow
Ain't no need to telephone (no need to telephone)
When you're out in the meadow
Just live your life alone
With the man in the meadow, and me
And me
