Lonely People - Styx

The rain was hot

And the streets were empty

As Downtown closed her eyes

The movie house

Stood in silence

As I said my last good-byes

Her silver screen

Stained with memories

As Cagney shot them down

As I watched

I was their hero

In dreamlands lost and found

Oh my God, well we

Both are empty

Paradise and me

Do you believe I’m still

Chasing rainbows?

Everywhere I see

Lonely People

Lonely People

Up above these ghetto streets

In penthouse suites

They sit and stare

Lonely People

Lonely People

They smile and say they’re fine

But behind their smiles

They just don’t care

They just don’t care

Lonely People

Lonely People

Beneath these neon streets

In subway seats they

Crowd for air

Lonely People

Lonely People

So close and yet so far

They share the secrets of

Despair

Lonely People
