[Intro]

"And disciplinary remains mercifully"

"Yes and um, I’m with you, Derek, this star nonsense"

"Yes, yes"

"Now which is it?"

"I am sure of it"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange

A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year

Running over the same old ground, what have we found?

The same old fears, wish you were here

[Instrumental Outro]
