Select language to translate this lyric
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 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 were 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
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
Lonely People
Lonely People
Lonely People
Lonely People
Lonely People
Lonely People)
