Unknown engines underneath the city

Steam pushing up in billows through the grates

Just a pair of tunes to hammer out
D G A
Everybody's off the clock by ten
Bm G D G
The loneliest people in the whole wide world
D A D

Every dream's a good dream

Remember soaring higher than the clouds

Get pretty sentimental now and then

Ghosted in the ribbon microphone
Bm G D
Leave a little mark on something maybe
Em Asus4 A
Take the secret circuit home
D G D
Nothing in the shadows but the shadow hands
D G A
Reaching out to sad young frightened men
Bm G D G
The loneliest people in the whole wide world
D A D
are the ones you're never going to see again

Yeah the loneliest people in the whole wide world
D A D
are the ones you're never going to see again
