People, the lovesick and lonely people

You know it's only getting closer people.

I, I must've been asleep

Now, now, now I am awake

My eyes are tired and blurry

I've seen tight skirts getting out of cars

Hot shots drinking at the bars.

The lost souls and the worried

The lazy and the hurried

The living and the buried.

People, the lovesick and lonely people

The lost and the holy people

You know we're running getting nowhere, people

You know it's only getting closer, people.

I've been so far away

Now, now I'm coming home

I've died and been reborn and I've seen

Friends I love come and go

Caught up, lost in the flow.

Seen stronger people worn out

Just trying to wait the storm out

Seen weaker hearts been torn outta.

People, the lovesick and lonely people

The lost and the holy people

You know we're running getting nowhere, people

You know it's only getting closer, people.

Waiting here for some word from above

Helpless taking out shelter in love

Strung out, waisted, tired and frustrated

Knock down, overrated and jaded, faded

Yeah!

People, the lovesick and lonely people

The lost and the holy people

You know we're running getting nowhere, people

The lovesick and lonely people

The lost and the holy people

You know we're running getting nowhere, people

You know it's only getting closer

The drugs are getting sober

And soon it will be over, people

It's only getting closer, people.
