The Walker

Beneath the night sky and the stars
Lie dirty streets and burned-out cars
He walks this dark road alone
And he knows he'll never go home
Oh, he walks this dark road alone
He knows that he can never go home

Broken all apart
Knowledge he cannot impart
And in the distant sky
That's where the tunnels lie
Down in the undertow
Lies something from so long ago
Like the village now insane
But the symbols still remain

His mind's washed clean
Like static on the TV screen
An unassuming pawn
His purpose is far gone
So now he walks inane
The missing pieces of the chain
He's been cast away
But the lies remain

Here comes the rain
There goes the sun again
Down by the train
Among mediocre men
Here comes the rain
We lost the key again
Here comes the rain
