Lyrics [ ]
Unknown engines underneath the city Steam pushing up in billows through the grates Frankie Lymon'due south tracking "Seabreeze" in a studio in Harlem Information technology's 1968 Only a pair of tunes to hammer out Everybody's off the clock by ten The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you lot're never going to see again Feels so costless when I hit the avenue Nothing like a New York summer dark Every dream'south a adept dream, Even awful dreams are practiced dreams, If you're doing it right Call up soaring college than a cloud Get pretty sentimental now and then The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to meet once again And iv hours north of Portland, a radio flips on And some no 1 from the future remembers that you're gone Armies massing in the dusky altitude Ghosted in the ribbon microphone Leave a niggling mark on something, maybe Have the secret circuit home Nil in the shadows merely the shadow hands Reaching out to deplorable, young, frightened men The loneliest people in the whole wide give-and-take are the ones yous're never going to run into again Yep, the loneliest people in the whole wide give-and-take are the ones you're never going to see once more

- "This is a vocal nearly the death of Frankie Lymon, who was a wonderful young singer. Then he wasn't young anymore and his voice changed and the world had no further utilize for him. But he kept trying to piece of work because that was sort of the but line of work he'd e'er had. And, uh, he scored a recording contract with a tiny fiddling characterization out of Harlem chosen Roulette, there were a lot of tiny little labels in the 1960s, and they let him track like fifteen demos in one night, and he did that, and got a couple hundred bucks, and he went and got some heroin, every bit you exercise when you go a couple hundred bucks, and died in his mother'due south house that dark. This is called 'Harlem Roulette'." -- 2012-10-sixteen - Bowery Ballroom - New York, NY
