lyrics

Lonesome George, you were forty years alone;
Lonesome George, the goats they brought you down.
In the sprint, you could barely beat a stone,
but the last standing gets the crown,
Lonesome George.

You were wild, but they like I were feral;
no furrow for your seed, a tame human for your friend.
Stones get lonely, but we both know the hare'll
always faint first in the end,
Lonesome George.

Flesh becomes stone, when you live a hundred years;
you die alone, as all life knows and fears.
The way it ends is never a surprise.
You've finished the race, and taken your prize.
