So, so you think you can tellHeaven from hellBlue skies from painCan you tell a green fieldFrom a cold steel railA smile from a veilDo you think you can tell?
Did they get you to tradeYour heroes with ghosts?Hot ashes for treesHot air for a cool breezeCold comfort for changeAnd did you exchangeA walk-on part in the warFor a lead role in a cage?
OhhAhhOhh
How I wish, how I wish you were here (Ohh)We're just two lost soulsSwimming in a fish bowlYear after year (Year after year)Running over the same old groundWhat have we found?The same old fearsWish you were here
Wish you were here (Wish you were here)Wish you were here (Wish you were here)Wish you were here
The same old fearsWish you were here
