Life in the city can be land of the lonely    Who's gonna know you when you're lost in the crowd    Everyone's looking after their one and only    Everyone's frightened of talking out loud, they say    You're one of the lonely people    Cause nobody knows your name now       Don't smile at people or they'll tell you your crazy    Be nice to no one or they'll say you're a fool    Look to the ground all the time that you're walking    Stick to yourself, don't you know that’s the rules, they say    You're one of the lonely people    Cause nobody knows your name now       Across the street is an open door    There's a man standing out of the rain    He turns his collar to the wind    And you know you'll never see him    You know you'll never see him again    He's one of the lonely people    Cause nobody knows his name now       Say what you like I think you're on in a million    There's nobody like you, you're a class of you're own    The city's the place that we've all gotta live in    If we think of each other we can make it our home    Everyone's fighting for a way to survive    Nobody listens to a word that we say    There's more to life than just staying alive    We can make it, we can make it all day    I'll show you the way    And you'll find    Life in the city's okay
