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
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 are 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
