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
