[00:25.18] Come in, come in, do you read me?
[00:27.95] Come in, can you hear me?
[00:31.23] Come in, come in, do you read me? Can you hear me?
[00:35.52] Come in, come in, do you read me? Can you hear me?
[00:40.17] Come in, come in, come in.
[00:42.51] I'm going home, I'm going home
[00:47.66] To that poor little town in which I spent so many years
[00:51.45] And in that poor little town runs a sad little street
[00:54.82] And on that sad little street sits a dull yellow house
[00:58.18] And in that dull yellow house
[00:59.81] I swear it's yellow - can you believe it?
[01:01.86] In that dull yellow house there's a room.
[01:04.83] I know that room, I know this room
[01:21.72] In that corner in that chair
[01:23.92] Used to sit a yellow bear with button eyes, his name was Will
[01:30.26] And I recall from long ago how my soldiers row by row
[01:35.42] Would all stand guard upon that sill
[01:40.51] And over there of course the bed I used to hide beneath
[01:44.61] Although now I've grown too fat to fit
[01:47.41] Don't ask me how I know, I just do
[01:52.12] God, the fantasies and glories I imagined way back then
[01:57.00] When now I have to fight to even think one moment through
[02:00.98] And standing here it all comes back, the wonders that I knew
[02:07.13] Inside these four faded walls I was the hero
[02:11.39] Inside these four faded walls I played the prince
[02:15.42] The toys paraded very grand and how they'd bow at my command
[02:19.70] Inside these four faded walls I smiled
[02:25.39] As I've rarely smiled since
[02:33.97] And now I live in the city, Sweet Jesus what a city!
[02:36.93] You should see it, come out and visit some time
[02:40.30] The lights are blinding and the rush is well worth getting
[02:43.27] Jesus Christ, I'm sweating just thinking of the place
[02:46.52] It's quite a place you know
[02:49.70] And I work day and night to keep up with the pace
[02:52.92] The crowds move too fast but I stay in the race
[02:55.77] Help! My stomach bleeds red till I'm blue in the face
[02:59.50] And good God what a life I'm living
[03:02.30] Good God what a life I'm living
[03:05.87] When I used to have so little
[03:07.98] Stranded in the middle of these four faded walls
[03:13.78] Inside these four faded walls
[03:17.77] Inside these four faded walls I had adventures
[03:22.30] Inside these four faded walls the future gleamed
[03:26.14] Upon this floor, upon this site
[03:28.46] I lived in never ending light
[03:30.48] Inside these four faded walls the world was bright
[03:34.33] There was no night or so it seemed
[03:38.13] Inside these four faded walls I dreamed
