Ooohh ooohh
Ooohh ooohh
The drunks are all sober on their way into town
By taxi and subway train
They're seated in the theater when the houselights go down
And the band slowly walks on the stage
So many faces you cannot see
In the orchestra pit, in the balcony
Lost in the crowd
A baby is sleeping, though the converts yell encore
The curtain comes to a close
The audience is leaving for the concert is over
The singer sits backstage alone
She wipes off her makeup and walks out the door
Disguised as herself, no longer adored
Lost in the crowd
Young men on the corner, sign by his side
It says "please help I'm hungry"
They're all on their cell phones, they go walking by
Find somewhere to spend their money
He's just a shadow that no one can see
They don't know his name and he'll always be
Lost in the crowd, yeah
The party is over, the moon shuts it's eye
In the alley the cats start to moan
Now that we're older, can't stay out all night
And we find ourselves in bed alone
So many people we cannot see
Behind the walls of this old city
Lost in the crowd
Ooohh
Ooohh ooohh
