The streets of my town
Are not what they were
They are haloed in anger
With bitter and hurt
And it's not so you'd notice
But there's a sinister thing
Like the wheels of ambition
At christening
ย
So I went out walking
On the streets of the dead
With a chip on my shoulder
And a voice in my head
It said you have been brought here
Though you don't know what for
Well the mystery train is coming
Right to your door
And I hear you calling
You don't have to call so loud
I see you falling
You don't have to walk so proud
You can run all night
But we can take you where
You can cry like an angel
ย
And there were high school night dances
When we played stump the band
We were raising each other
In a strange land
And there were hard pills to swallow
But we drank 'em all down
Oh the nights were too short then
Now they're a little too long
And I hear you calling
You don't have to call so loud
I see you falling
You don't have to walk so proud
You can run all night
But we can take you where
You can shout out in anger
You can laugh like a fool
You can cry like an angel
So look homeward baby
Keep your eyes on the sky
They will never forgive you
So don't ask them to try
And this is your party
I know it's not your ideal
But may we all find salvation
In professions that heal
And I hear you calling
You don't have to call so loud
I see you falling
You don't have to walk so proud
You can run all night
But we can take you where
You can shout out in anger
You can laugh like a fool
You can call up to heaven
We're going to be listening to you
You can say hallelujah
You can fly like a bird
You can cry like an angel
When there are no words
