"Honk If You're Lonely Tonight" was once included on a V-Day mix tape by Whitney Matheson of USA Today in her "Pop Candy" column. Affixed to the song was the note:
7. Honk if You're Lonely, Silver Jews. This one used to be taped to the dashboard until I realized it was depressing my passengers.
The "This one" used to be linked to the lyrics for the song; however, that link is broken. In fact, I can't find the lyrics anywhere anymore.
So here I go again... Bringing (obscure?) lyrics to the world yet another time.
"Honk If You're Lonely" by Silver Jews
Radio's On
Feelin' alright
Cruisin' the strip on a Saturday night
Smile and I wave, and I hide all my pain,
but the sign on my bumper gives me away.
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend
To get through the night
Toot on your horn
Flash on your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight
I know a honky tonk
Where we can go
A booth in the bank
With the lights way down low
Juke box is playing
A sad melody
For heart broken lovers
Just like you and me
We'll laugh and we'll flirt
And we'll dance every dance
And before the night's over
We'll make romance
Mornin' will find us
With a smile on our face
And we'll be together
In a lovers' embrace
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend
To get through the night
Toot on your horn
Flash on your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight
(instrumental section)
I know it seems sad
To be so damn blue
But there's always a chance
That you'll meet someone new
I know that somewhere
Waitin' for me
Is a sad lonely lover
With a bumper that reads
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend
To get through the night
Toot on your horn
Flash on your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight
[I am so]
Honk if you're lonely tonight
Honk if you're lonely tonight
<honk honk>
