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're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Wish you were here
