Moments like this make me long for the road
Is it running way, is it just letting go?
Surrounded by life but I'm feeling unknown
Beaten and tired and I cannot go home
Over and over again
I stare at the sky but I can't make it rain
Everything here stays the same
Around and around hoping something will change
Is this all I get is there no second chance
Got a head full of weather and two empty hands
Streetlights blink on divide us from the land
The older I get the less I understand
I've got to get out of here
I've got to get out of here

Take these hands small and white
Press the beads between them pray with all your might
Cast the stones, second sight will not light a candle for the world's dark night
Empty eye heart of stone
Raise a graven image - see how much we've grown
Fervent prayers to atone
Will not cleanse the earth of all the seeds we've sown
People weep, people moan at the altar of a god that crumbled long ago
This rough beast we appease turns his face away and brings us to our knees
Clutch at straws holding fast, clinging to a way of life that cannot last
Hollow man, men of glass - if we don't learn then we're damned to repeat the past
