|
Sometimes these tired old streets can feel strange |
|
I watch the tumbleweed now where I used to play |
|
What I felt way back then was called 'change' |
|
Just like a thundercloud from the horizon it came |
|
And from the start |
|
It took control |
|
It burnt its way inside this soul |
|
It broke this heart |
|
It cracked these bones |
|
As deep inside we turned to stone |
|
I could never change the way I feel |
|
Only this is surreal |
|
And, oh |
|
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels |
|
Of industrial steel |
|
The riverbed has cracked to its clay |
|
And it's been centuries now since I tasted rain |
|
The echoes only whisper these days |
|
To stir the ghosts of this town where shadows remain |
|
And from the start |
|
It took control |
|
It burnt its way inside this soul |
|
It broke this heart |
|
It cracked these bones |
|
As deep inside we turned to stone |
|
I could never change the way I feel |
|
Only this is surreal |
|
And, oh |
|
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels |
|
Of industrial steel |
|
And from the start |
|
It took control |
|
It burnt its way inside this soul |
|
It broke this heart |
|
It cracked these bones |
|
As deep inside we turned to stone |
|
I could never change the way I feel |
|
Only this is surreal |
|
And, oh |
|
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels |
|
Of industrial steel |
