What hes waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
Hes just waiting for something to show.
And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
Cos theres no hiding place,
Theres 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.
Hes a lonely man, there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
And hes just waiting for something to show - oh.
Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
Cos theres no hiding place,
Theres no hiding place - for you and me.
Are we just like all the rest,
Were looking too hard for something hes 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 hes waiting for, I don't know - oh.
But he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show - oh.
Whos the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I don't know.
But hes there every day now.
And hes just waiting for something to show - oh.
Whos the lonely man there on the corner,
What hes waiting for, I don't know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
Hes just waiting for that something to show.
See the lonely man there on the corner, What hes waiting for, I don't know, But he waits everyday now. Hes just waiting for something to show. And nobody knows him, And nobody cares, Cos theres no hiding place, Theres 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. Hes a lonely man, there on the corner, What hes waiting for, I don't know, But he waits everyday now. And hes just waiting for something to show - oh. Nobody knows him, And nobody cares, Cos theres no hiding place, Theres no hiding place - for you and me. Are we just like all the rest, Were looking too hard for something hes 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 hes waiting for, I don't know - oh. But he waits every day now. Hes just waiting for that something to show - oh. Whos the lonely man there on the corner, What hes waiting for, I don't know. But hes there every day now. And hes just waiting for something to show - oh. Whos the lonely man there on the corner, What hes waiting for, I don't know. Oh but he waits every day now. Hes just waiting for that something to show. Explain Request ×
