Lost in a Crowd Lyrics

Lost in a crowd
You feel your thoughts out loud
Lost in the [?] of the sound
Get through the day, don't drown
Life it goes fast, youth is gone
Feeling so lost
Come on, grieve, move on
Stuck in the shadows of a lie
That you tried to leave behind
Can't people play
Slave through the year for a holiday
Stuck in a room for too long
Waiting to hear your favorite song
Can't you see out on a ledge?
Shapeless expressions, lame, dead
Until you're fat, until you're dumb
Spend all your money 'til you come.
You travel, and you travel, trying to find it
I know that neither one of us
No, neither one of us can survive it
We travel, and we travel trying to find it
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
Get yourself, get yourself, get yourself
Stand in line, wait for your turn, don't you cry
They make the past seem nigh
You took their money, now you die
Feelings of rage, broken bones
Lost in a crowd
Now you're on your own
This is your life, now you're gone
There's no tomorrow
It's here, it's gone
Well we traveled, and we traveled, trying to find it
I know that neither of us
No, neither one of us can survive it
The Good Lord did travel, did travel trying to find it
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
We're just people, lonely people, you and I
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
Lonely people

Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz (born 1968), better known by his stage name Fantastic Negrito, is an African-American singer-songwriter whose music spans blues, R&B, and roots music. Negrito made a record deal with Prince's former manager, and later, in 1993, made another deal, this one with Interscope Records. On January 9, 1996, he released his first album, The X Factor, under the mononym Xavier. The album was released on Lexington House Records and distributed by Interscope. He was in a near-fatal car crash in 1999, which left him in a coma for three weeks; he has since said that he felt that this crash "released" him because Interscope terminated their contract with him, after which he resumed hustling. In 2007, he stopped making music, but he returned in 2014, describing his new musical style as "black roots music for everyone". In 2015, he won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. In 2016, his album The Last Days of Oakland was released on the Blackball Universe label. Negrito won his first Grammy in 2017, when The Last Days of Oakland received the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Read more on Last.fm.
