Ah, they could fill cathedrals, baby
They could fill cathedrals
(One, two, one, two, three)
Where have the numbers gone
That marched across my bed?
The faces after faces
Still inside my head
No words of love
The hollow sound
Of hungry people in the night
(Hungry people in the night)
Do not say it was wrong or right
(Not say it was wrong or right)
But call it flight
(And fly away)
Ah, can Heaven tell me
Ah, where they are now?
They could fill cathedrals
Where are they now?
They're in the dance halls
They're in the diners
They're in the streets
Where are they now?
At the movies
They're in the bar rooms
Ah, where are they now?
They're in the dance halls
They're in the diners
They're in the streets
Where are they now?
At the movies
They're in the bar rooms
Ah, they could fill cathedrals (cathedrals)
They could fill cathedrals, baby (cathedrals)
Each one was kind of special
As the music played
And so I'd end up leaving
When I should have stayed
Away from this
And on to that
Another lover hits the dust
(Another lover hits the dust)
So much for all the time and trust
(So much for all the time and trust)
From love to lust
(And back to love)
Ah, can Heaven tell me
Ah, where they are now?
They could fill cathedrals
Where are they now?
They're in the dance halls
They're in the diners
They're in the streets
Where are they now?
They're at the movies
They're in the bar rooms
Where are they now?
They're in the dance halls
They're in the diners
They're in the streets
Where are they now?
They're at the movies
They're in the bar rooms
Ah, they could fill cathedrals (cathedrals)
Ah, they could fill cathedrals, baby (cathedrals)
Ah, they could fill cathedrals, baby
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right (cathedrals)
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night (cathedrals)
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Not say it was wrong or right
Hungry people in the night
Cathedrals
Fly away
They're in the bar rooms
Ah, they could fill cathedrals
Ah, they could fill cathedrals, baby
Ah, can heaven tell me
Ah, where they are now?
They could fill cathedrals
Ah, they could fill cathedrals, baby
Ah, can heaven tell me
Ah, where they are now?
They could fill cathedrals (cathedrals)
Ah
