So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell,

Blue skys from pain

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail

A smile from a veil

Do you think you can tell

And did they get you to trade

Your heros for ghosts

Hot ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change

And did you e change

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

swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from hell,

Blue skys from pain

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail

A smile from a veil

Do you think you can tell

We're just two lost souls

swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Oh, I wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year,

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Oh, I wish you were here
