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 heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for the cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
a walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year.
Running over the same old ground,
but have we found the same old fears?
Wish you were here.
