When you feel so far away though you're close to everything
   and the feeling of estrangement's creeping up on spider's legs
   even in these days of wonder, even in the age of faith
   there are some who goin' under
   there are some who never got it made
   so you passed so many years in a labyrinth of traces
   running round and round they led to no one but yourself
   here comes the eternal stranger
   he who has fallen from grace to the iron grounds
   and i'm tolling my bell just to let you know
   i'm here by your side in these days full of wonder
   in the ashes of your time when the dragon screams for more
   the reptiles make their comeback in your eyes
   and heroes fall for heroin and heaven falls for fake
   and doris' daisies burn to hell on the grand parade of lies
   in the middle of the night when the last of god has died
   and the only friend you've got is the heartbeat of the clock
   that music plays for all time, the tv light is freezing
   the war-paint on your face..
