Ode To A Problematic Tragic Hero
*-*-*-*-*
(to the tune of "Land of Canaan" by the Indigo Girls)

"Loneliness is a choice."
-Dana Scully, Milagro

Well, you can move to the south to find an apartment close to me
You tell me that I'm your latest subject and it scares me to know how much you see
But compliments are so nice - yours are the first in so long
And so I stop and visit you, although I feel it to be wrong

CHORUS:
I'm lonely tonight, but lonely's a choice
You're like Stephen King, thought you fancy you're Joyce
So lonely's all right
So lonely's all right
Yeah, lonely's all right

But my feelings change when I take note of plot twists that you chose
I find myself discomfited by your luridness and by your purple prose
I'm not your Beatrice, surely you know I'm not your Hegelian counterpart
And though you know my character so well, you have no right to take my heart

CHORUS:
I'm lonely tonight, but lonely's a choice
I'm less than impressed with your narrative voice
So lonely's all right
So lonely's all right
Yeah, lonely's all right, whooooo...

(guitar solo)

My blood is running freely, and I'm, I'm bleeding on my blouse

(I'm bleeding on my blouse)
And I must add that I dislike this literary fatalism you espouse
(this literary, literary fatalism)
It's just a raging cycle, there's no way to write me as you want
(just a raging cycle) (why can't you write me as you want?)
So please don't let this story
(I'm lonely tonight)
So please don't let this story
(but lonely's all right)
So please don't let this story you write come to its denouement
I'm lonely tonight
