"Hey , Hey out there knock it off will ya?    Hey give it a rest will ya? I'm tryin' to get some sleep!    Want me to call the cops?    I tell ya Erma I can't wait till next week when they start to tear that damn old theatre down."      The rain was hot, 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 was stained with memories   As Cagney shot them down   And as I watched I was that 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   When 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 eyes they just don't care   Lonely People   They just don't care   Lonely People, Lonely People      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, Lonely People (repeat and fade...)
