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.
