Man on the Corner - Genesis

See 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

And 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
