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..
