Headin' in or headin' out Standing on the shore
Pause a moment to reflect Which trip costs you more
Between the ever restless crowds And the silence of uour room
Spend an hour in no man's land You'll be leaving soon
Victims come and victims go There's always lots to spare
One victim lives the tragedy One victim stops to stare
And still another walks on by Pretending not to see
They're all out there in no man's land Cause it's the safest place to be
But sanctuary never comes Without some kind of risk
Illusions without freedom Never quite add up to bliss
The haunting and the haunted Play a game no one can win
The spirits come at midnight And by dawn they're gone again
And so it seems our destiny To search and never rest
To ride that ever changing wave That never seems to crest
To shiver in the darkest night Afraid to make a stand
And then go back and do our time Out there in no man's land
