(Intro)
(1st Guitar Solo)

(1st Verse)
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies 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...
(2nd Verse) ...trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

(2nd Guitar Solo)

(3rd Verse)
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

(Outro Guitar Solo)
