Headin' out on some uncharted path

You soon turn back

It happens time and time again

You never seem to reach the end

Someone's out there on the street tonight

When things go wrong

He'll guarantee to make them right

If the price is right



Every time I look you're fallin' fallin'

Beaten by the wind

Every time I turn around he's there again



It's like a full force gale

An American storm

You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold

And you never get warm

It's like a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up- You hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed

You never feel the need



Everybody casts a certain light

A special gift

It's theirs to use for wrong or right

When you face the night

More and more we choose the easy way

We take no risks

We figure out which games to play

And how to make 'em pay



Suddenly the pressure's fallin' fallin'

Skies have all turned grey

Suddenly the storm is heading straight your way



It's like a full force gale

Atop a mountain of cold

You tell your story again and again

And it never gets old

You face a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up- You hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed



You face a full force gale

An American storm

You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold

And you never get warm- No you never get warm

You face a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up- You hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed

You never feel the need
