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
