Lonely Hearts

We may never meet in the light of day

If we passed on the street, would we look the other way

So I search for you where we can't be seen

And I know we'll meet on the page of this magazine

Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness

Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain

We call to each other as we drown in the city

O why

Do we have to remain

The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?

It's a mean old town, can't show your heart

If you stand up and say what you mean they tear you

apart

And they call it love, sell it by the pound

But the lovers are gone or they're living down

underground

Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness

Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain

Call to each other as we drown in the city

O why

Do we have to remain

The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?

No-one needs a friend, no-one cares no more

They'll look hard at you but they won't take the chain

off the door

O they work and slave, keep their conscience clean

They come home at night and they talk to an empty

screen

Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness

Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain

Call to each other as we drown in the city

O why

Do we have to remain

The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?

Two lonely hearts, two lonely hearts

Two lonely hearts, two lonely hearts

Call to each other as we drown in the city

O why

Do we have to remain

The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?

The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?
