Where have all the people gone in my life?
I'm looking at the ceiling with an awful feeling of loss and loneliness
The after-late night television pain
I'm running out of strength, I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' out of strength
And it feels so wonderful
To swim in our fear
And it's unacceptable
The awakening of life
Oh, Uncle Joe, could you tell me what you know?
I've been having mental problems and the solution is unclear
I'll give anything a try once, I'll try anything three times
I don't care (x4)
But there's no company
That I can stand to be with me
So my dependency
On you grows
And I am not very well read
And did you say that I will lose my house?
And can you spare me of my pain?
And can you spare me of my tears?
Oh, Uncle Joe
It was unintentional
When I spit in your beer
I am overinfluenced
By movies
Let's all go to the pier tomorrow
The darkest pool
Did you know
Lies below the sky
To elaborate on Aniland's excellent transcript, I always loved the sly self referential part of this songs lyrics:
And I am not very well read
And did you say that I will lose my house?
And can you spare me of my pain?
And can you spare me of my tears?

I cleaned the lyrics up a bit.
