God's Lonely People

Over mounts over money over time
Newspaper lovers break up on Page 6
Bus stop single mothers
Dream of getting rich
Hollywood sons and daughters
The teenage Jesus scars
They took her to see a doctor
Now she's gonna be a star

Don't it always go that way?
Don't it always go that way sweet child?
God's lonely people
Get it on when summer's gone and
Eye of the needle
The weekend comes with the damage done

A thousand dollars later in a last chance poker game
He said a prayer for his children
But the angel never came

Don't it always go that way, sweet child?
Don't it always go that way?
God's lonely people
Long lost love we're dreaming of and
Powers of evil
Feeling dumb and American

Where we stand
They killed a man
I almost saw it on TV
But they washed it clean so that kids could dream and

God's lonely people
Pay to come like everyone and
Eye of the needle
The king is dead it's all be said and

I am the one that wants to go back
I want the unconditional
I am the one that wants to go back
I want the unconditional
I am the one that wants to go back
I want the unconditional
I am the one that wants to go back
I want the unconditional
I am the one that wants to go back
I want the unconditional
