Lyrics

	The city lights flick to display.
	Bang! There goes another day.
	The believers in the basement,
	They are singing songs about a way
	To be reborn and regenerate,
	But none of this communicates to me.

	Up here on the second floor,
	I've forgotten what I'm waiting for--
	A friend, a brother, mother, woman? Maybe,
	But I have all these in this sulphate,
	Emotionless and considerate to me.

	The silver clock chimes off again,
	Reminds me of my childhood pain.
	And the burden that was lifted
	When I made it to the city,
	Disillusioned and full of hate,
	But a member of the mother state, and free.

	At empty walls I sit and stare.
	I sense a feeling in the air,
	In the throws throes of thought I wonder,
	"Can I make it on my own?"
	But deep down in my heart, I know
	That I ain't never, ever going home.

	And it's
	A hard sun,
	A hard sun,
	That's been beating on my back.
	It's a hard sun
	That shines its light on me.
