One day in the life of the lonely

Another day on the round about

What do they need

Somebody to love



One night in the life of the lonely

There's a miracle on the screen

What did they see

Somebody to love



He guarantees you instant glory

Get your money on the line



Gotta send me a plastic Jesus

There's a check in the mail today

That's what I need

Somebody to love



We just won't eat on Sunday

Gotta buy him a limousine

Somewhere to live

Somewhere to pray



Every penny from the people

Keeps the wolf outside the door

Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself

But he'll give you more, yeah



Chorus:

Holy father, holy ghost

Who's the one who pays the most

Rock the cradle don't you cry

Buy another lullaby



Jack is nimble, Jack is quick

Pick your pocket, turn a trick

Slow and steady, he's got time

To commit another TV crime

TV crime



One day in the life of the lonely

Back again on the round about

What do they need

Somebody to love



Yeah



One night in the life of the lonely

Another miracle on the screen

What did they see

Somebody to love again



A supermarket of salvation

Take a look inside the store

Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself

But he gives more



Holy father - holy ghost

Who's the one who hurts you most

Rock the cradle when you cry

Scream another lullaby



Jack be nimble, Jack be slick

Take the money, get out quick

Slow and steady, so much time

To commit another

TV Crime, TV Crime
