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
