lyricsso, 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? and did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? hot ashes for trees? hot air for a cool breeze? cold comfort for change? and 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 what have we found? the same old fears wish you were here |
