In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes peer back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
Sits around inside his house
From room to room he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it all turns out.
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified, to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sounds
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
or time I've wasted.
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Fall on my face do it again.
You say how, do, you do.
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
To be free, to be sold
To be killed, to be saved
In my head, I'm alone
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
Just like you, I've been tryin'
To escape, in my bones
I feel cold, I give thanks
To the lord, industry
In this street, let me go
Let me be, I don't need
To be here, I'm alone
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
or time I've wasted, don't waste it.
