Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
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 ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
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
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
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
-Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd
I will never understand how Roger Waters came up with such haunting words. Bloody good!
