…inside that he must drench to numb
If we could try
To share some of his wounds just for a while
But we're all just people…
…his voice
Through the coldness
If we could try to ease some of his pain just for a while
But we're all just people passing by…
…is falling
Alone he whispers his "goodnight"
Turning away, when sleep is calling
From all the people passing by…

Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walk this world alone
Try to stay on my feet…
…this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down the streets, looking for angels
Everyone I meet, looking…
…it, we need, we need more than this
Going through this life, looking for angels
People passing by, looking for angels
Walking down…

…passing by
The pinto spent his time a swishin' flies
And the Navajo watched the lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people…
…in cornmeal dough
For the people passing by
They thought that they would make some easy bucks
If they're washin…
…' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passing by
Then they took this cheap vacation
Their shoes were polished bright…

Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of Indian Hi-de-ho
To the people passing by…
…passing by
Across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navjo
Who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough
For the people…
…' their frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of very conscientious clucks
To the people passing by
Then they took this cheap vacation
Their shoes were polished bright
No, they never heard…

…right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by
They should tremble at your sight
Are these bad dreams…
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
The people passing by
They should tremble at your sight…
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by
They should tremble at your sight…

…to say
Looking at me, looking at you, looking at?
Don't know what to say now, don't know what to say
Pushing it through the day!
People…
…passing by, people passing by, people passing
Won't you ever talk to me, won't you ever talk to me?
People passing by, people…
…passing by, people passing
Won't you ever talk to me, won't you ever talk to me
Can you break the dichotomy?
Don't know what…

Well across the alley from the Alamo
Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo
Who sang a sort of indian
Hi-de-ho to the people passing by…
Across the alley from the alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian
Hi-de-ho to the people passing by…
…the alley from the alamo
When the summer sun decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian
Hi-de-ho to the people passing by…

…are it or not
[Chorus]
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by they should tremble at your sight…
…passing by they should tremble at your sight
But they'll never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people…
…never get you right
I've been watching you all night
And the people passing by they should tremble at your sight
[Outro]
They'll…

Words & music By Paul Simon
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by…
…to lose
Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All…
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
'Twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio's singing song
All the favorite melodies…

…[Hook]
I walk the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used to watch the falling rain and listen to the sleeper say…
…the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used to watch the falling rain and listen to the sleeper sayy...
[Sapient…
…for the drums while the bassers on a rampage that's only begun
I walk the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used…

…in the snow
Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go
Playing for his food
Playing on his drums
Lots of people passing by…
…in the snow
Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go
Playing for his food
Playing on his drums
Lots of people passing by…
…in the snow
Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go
Playing for his food
Playing on his drums
Lots of people passing by
But Harry's having fun…

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people…
…passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my…
…of you only
Just two up, two down
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why…

…[Hook: Sample]
I walk the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used to watch the falling rain…
…(rejoice)
[Hook: Sample]
I walk the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used to watch the falling rain…
…begun
[Hook: Sample]
I walk the lonely streets I watch the people passing by I used to watch the falling rain…

…at us
But when the Molotov drops
Tell me who do you trust?
[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere I go
I see people passing by
They keep staring back at me
Like…
…at us
But when the Molotov drops
Tell me who do you trust?
[Pre-Chorus]
Everywhere I go
I see people passing by
They keep staring back at me
Like some freak…

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying "how do…
…to my self oh what a wonderful world
Instrumental solo
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people…
…passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying "how do you do?"
But they really say I love you
I see trees…
