Lyrics Lonely People - Styx

Lonely People

The rain was hot
And 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
Stained with memories
As Cagney shot them down
As I watched
I was their 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?
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 smiles
They just don’t care
They just don’t care
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
