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.
