For just a little drink
You’d tell me what you think
Of me and, oh, you’d like to
Read my mind
Who have you been?
What are you now?
I once was you
We were one
A whole different game
A hole in your sun
Just something to hate
Defence of the gun

I’ve never really asked for this
I’ve never really wanted this
I’ve never really told you
How it feels
Everything is what it is
And not another thing
Know enough to feel so much
This shadows something real
Half dead people looking on
You knock them down just one by one
Cry at night to laugh at dawn
I hope you’re never happy!

Light me please
Some mellow sleaze
It’s too much to say forever
The light’s too low
To let it go
Today, some when
Or never
It’s too late now for you
To change my mind
I’d like to thank you for
Being unkind
Our hopes for years to come
The strangers fade away
Fulfil your dreams
Get on your knees
Get off the beaten track
Place your trust in me for
Your soul to dwell at ease
The sins you’ve never
Tried to walk away from
In theory and in practice
Look away from
Lay me down in peace and sleep
To serve with fear your soul to keep

The crowd depart
The rest get wired
The best have been and gone
Some kids are
Just fucked in the head
Preachers, teachers
Keep them fed
Which one of them has
Got your soul?

Where the wind blows strong
Across the broken wall
Where no trees stand
In a barren plain
Where voices call
And scream your name
The torments all
Come back again

It’s not like you’ve lost
Everything before
But the wind can never
Find its place
The lion holds
To lose no face
To promise forever
In your case
It’s not like you can
Hide away
The sins and crowds
Are here to stay and
You’re the one
Without the soul
To preach to those Without a heart

It’s not like we’re
That far away today
Just a few more million
Miles to go
I wonder where you’re
Going anyway
I’m not sure that
I want to know

It’s not like you’ve lost
Everything before
It’s not like you can
Hide away
It’s not like we’re
That far today
It’s not like you
Care anyway!
