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.
And 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.
