See the lonely man there on the corner,
|
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
|
But he waits everyday now.
|
He's just waiting for something to show.
|
|
And nobody knows him,
|
And nobody cares,
|
'Cos there's no hiding place,
|
There's no hiding place - for you.
|
|
Looking everywhere at no one,
|
He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.
|
When he shouts nobody listens,
|
Where he leads no one will go - oh.
|
|
He's a lonely man, there on the corner,
|
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
|
But he waits everyday now.
|
He's just waiting for something to show - oh.
|
|
Nobody knows him,
|
And nobody cares,
|
'Cos there's no hiding place,
|
There's no hiding place - for you and me.
|
|
Are we just like all the rest,
|
We're looking too hard for something he's got
|
Or moving too fast to rest.
|
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
|
But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.
|
|
Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
|
What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh.
|
But he waits every day now.
|
He's just waiting for that something to show - oh.
|
|
Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
|
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
|
But he's there every day now.
|
And he's just waiting for something to show - oh.
|
|
Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
|
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
|
Oh but he waits every day now.
|
He's just waiting for that something to show.
