Styx - Lonely People Lyrics
Written by dennis deyoungLead vocals by dennis deyoungHey , hey out there knock it off will ya?Hey give it a rest will ya? Im tryin to get some sleep!Want me to call the cops?I tell ya erma I cant till next week when they start to tear that damn old theatre down.The rain was hot, the streets were emptyAs downtown closed her eyesThe movie house stood in silence as I said my last good-byesHer silver screen was stained with memoriesAs cagney shot them downAnd as I watched I was that heroIn dreamlands lost and foundOh my god, well we both are empty paradise and meDo you believe Im still chasing rainbowsWhen everywhere I seeLonely people, lonely peopleUp above these ghetto streetsIn penthouse suites they sit and stareLonely people, lonely peopleThey smile and say theyre fineBut behind their eyes they just dont careLonely peopleThey just dont careLonely people, lonely peopleLonely people, lonely peopleBeneath these neon streets in subway seats they crowd for airLonely people, lonely peopleSo close and yet so far they share the secrets of despairLonely people, lonely people (repeat and fade...)
