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 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 fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found - the same old fears?
Wish you were here
