The worst thing you can say about nothing
The nothing never leaves you alone
Two people talking to someone
Neither of them really know
Bottles are breaking
And hearts are quaking now
The fog’s rolling in from the ash trays
The bar flies are stuck to their stools
The bartenders talkin’ about closing
But everybody thinks him a fool
Nobody wants to stay here
But nobody wants to go home
The lonely people we let into our lives
Only reflect all those feelings we wish we could hide
No you can’t leave me here
All by my self to deal with this frustration and fear
Now you’re coming and going
Depends where the wind be blowing
You knock me back out into the streets again
Said that hard hearted woman her tin can man walk on
The night air’s been calling as I’ve been hear drinking
I can’t shake the thinking that keeps my heart sinking
I want to go home but the whole words waiting there
Nobody wants to stay here
But nobody wants to go home
The lonely people we let into our lives
Only reflect all those feelings we wish we could hide
No you can’t leave me here
All by my self to deal with this frustration and fear
Now you’re coming and going
Depends where the wind be blowing
You knock me back out into the streets again
Said that hard hearted woman her tin can man walk on
Out into the streets we know
Clinging to the prize we hold
Keeping out the world we hope
Watching while the nothing just grows and grows

All I have they own
All that I am I owe
So how did we get here
Miles have we traveled
Long the winding road
Tell us a story weaved in the moonlight
Bathed in dreams of old
So goodnight you shooting stars
I'll take my time and I'll take yours
Out of mind and out of touch
Leave home while you're still young
Find me early on those warm summer days
If it's hazy well maybe we can stay inside and play
How's a man to stand up on his own
So goodnight you kings and queens
Go to sleep and dream of needless things
Leave me here to walk along
I don't mind another trip 'round the sun

Tell me brother tell me are you looking around
Are we three feet from hell are we six under ground
‘Cause I can’t see through the fog and I can’t hear a sound
Except that radio blasting drowning us out
I can’t believe my eyes
This horror in disguise
Of course we didn’t know they’d have us lining up in rows
If you think you’ll take our lives like it don’t mean nothing to me
I’ve got news for you
I’ve got news for everybody
The dead have arrived on a train in the night
If by chance you survive you’ll be here till you die
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me
As a child I could see all those things I would be
I was wild eyed and free what has happened to me.
I can’t see the road from here
The woods at night have grown so cold
Much colder now
Fifteen days and miles to go
Gonna cross that line and tell them all
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
They've all got to stand up to sound that alarm
They are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Tell your mothers
Your fathers
Your sisters
The world
That I have seen what I have seen
Don’t you tell me no, you’ve not been where we’ve been
Smelled the smoke from the towers that poured black for hours
Scaring faces for generations
You should know, they wont be coming home.
I still scream in my sleep
I’m still there in my dreams
Every night when they lay down with me
Tell your mothers and fathers
Your sisters and daughters
That they are the saviors that we’ve waited for
Wont you stand up with me
Wont you scream I believe
We are all sons and daughters
