Every place is lonely
Every face is cold
Everybody's cold
The crowd is closing in
You keep it under
And people keep you out
Don't try to make them
Feel sorry for you
It's not their business
They're alone on the way
What are you waiting for
Small humanoid
In the middle on the underground
Nobody comes today
There's no good rhyme to be lonely
Why do you act like
Anybody would run to greet you
On this afternoon
You're small but human
Alone if it happens
Cause it happens sometimes
Why are you making poetry
On the subway
Curious glances mess it
With their dirt
Keep it to your small soul
Cause it's hard to find
A catch on the crutch
But you can cripple along
On the way back home
