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
