See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for something to show

And nobody knows him, and nobody cares,
'Cause there's no hidin' place,
There's no hidin' place
for you

Lookin' 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 every day now
He's just waiting for something to show

And nobody knows him, and nobody cares,
'Cause there's no hidin' place,
There's no hidin' place
For you and me

Are we just like all the rest?
We're lookin' too hard for somethin' he's got
or movin' too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back, you need it
But do you love it enough to leave it all?

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now,
He's just waiting for that somethin' to show
