Lyrics [ ]
Unknown engines underneath the urban center Steam pushing up in billows through the grates Frankie Lymon's tracking "Seabreeze" in a studio in Harlem Information technology's 1968 Just a pair of tunes to hammer out Everybody'southward off the clock by ten The loneliest people in the whole wide globe are the ones you're never going to see again Feels and so gratis when I hit the avenue Nothing like a New York summer dark Every dream's a adept dream, Fifty-fifty awful dreams are good dreams, If you're doing it right Remember soaring higher than a cloud Become pretty sentimental at present and then The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you lot're never going to see again And four hours n of Portland, a radio flips on And some no ane from the future remembers that y'all're gone Armies massing in the dusky distance Ghosted in the ribbon microphone Leave a trivial mark on something, maybe Accept the secret circuit dwelling Zippo in the shadows but the shadow easily Reaching out to sad, young, frightened men The loneliest people in the whole wide word are the ones y'all're never going to meet again Yeah, the loneliest people in the whole wide word are the ones you're never going to see again

- "This is a vocal about the decease of Frankie Lymon, who was a wonderful young singer. Then he wasn't young anymore and his phonation changed and the world had no further use for him. But he kept trying to work because that was sort of the only line of work he'd always had. And, uh, he scored a recording contract with a tiny little label out of Harlem called Roulette, there were a lot of tiny footling labels in the 1960s, and they let him runway like xv demos in one night, and he did that, and got a couple hundred bucks, and he went and got some heroin, equally you exercise when you get a couple hundred bucks, and died in his mother's house that night. This is called 'Harlem Roulette'." -- 2012-10-sixteen - Bowery Ballroom - New York, NY
