genesis - man on the corner lyricssee 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. |
