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
