[Intro]
People, the lovesick and lonely people
You know it's only getting closer people

[Verse 1]
I, I must've been asleep
Now, now, now I am awake
My eyes are tired and blurry
I've seen tight skirts getting out of cars
Hot shots drinking at the bars

[Pre-Chorus]
The lost souls and the worried
The lazy and the hurried
The living and the buried

[Chorus]
People, the lovesick and lonely people
The lost and the holy people
You know we're running getting nowhere, people
You know it's only getting closer, people

[Verse 2]
I've been so far away
Now, now I'm coming home
I've died and been reborn and I've seen
Friends I love come and go
Caught up, lost in the flow
[Pre-Chorus]
Seen stronger people worn out
Just trying to wait the storm out
Seen weaker hearts been torn outta

[Chorus]
People, the lovesick and lonely people
The lost and the holy people
You know we're running getting nowhere, people
You know it's only getting closer, people

[Bridge]
Waiting here for some word from above
Helpless taking out shelter in love
Strung out, waisted, tired and frustrated
Knock down, overrated and jaded, faded
Yeah!

[Outro]
People, the lovesick and lonely people
The lost and the holy people
You know we're running getting nowhere, people
The lovesick and lonely people
The lost and the holy people
You know we're running getting nowhere, people
You know it's only getting closer
The drugs are getting sober
And soon it will be over, people
It's only getting closer, people
