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
