So, so you think you can tell
heaven from hell
blue skies from pain
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?.
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
did they get you to trade
your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
a walk for a part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How i wish, how i wish yolu were here
we´re just two lost souls
swimmingin a fish bow!
Year after year.
Running over the
same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
