Man On The Corner Lyrics By Genesis

    see the lonely man there on the corner
    what he’s waiting for i don’t know
    but he waits every day now
    he’s just waiting for something to show

    and nobody knows him and nobody cares
    ’cause there’s no hidin’ place
    there’s no hidin’ place
    for you

    lookin’ 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 every day now
    he’s just waiting for something to show

    and nobody knows him and nobody cares
    ’cause there’s no hidin’ place
    there’s no hidin’ place
    for you and me

    are we just like all the rest
    we’re lookin’ too hard for somethin’ he’s got
    or movin’ too fast to rest
    but like a monkey on your back you need it
    but do you love it enough to leave it all

    just like the lonely man there on the corner
    what he’s waiting for i don’t know
    but he waits every day now
    he’s just waiting for that somethin’ to show

    who the lonely man there on the corner
    what he’s waiting for i don’t know
    but he’s there every day now
    he’s just waiting for that somethin’ to show

    who the lonely man there on the corner
    what he’s waiting for i don’t know
    but he waits every day now
    he’s just waiting for that somethin’ to show
