So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue sky from pain Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil, do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war, for a lead-role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls living in a fish bowl Year after year, going over the same old ground What have you found, the same old fears Wish you were here
Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
