As I wander through this city
In a nameless town I walk
Now I've got this empty feeling
Names on sidewalks scribed in chalk
But powdered people cannot talk

Can this be a city's tombstone
Broken neon signs that say
Happy days are here forever
I think I'm in a play
So let me think about today

What will become of me now that I'm here
When will the crowd give a cheer

Have you got the time of day
It doesn't bother me
The time I've got could fill a day
In one eternity

It seems so strange it doesn't change
There's no one here but me
I wouldn't like to take a chance
In real reality

So long ago the city roared
It filled me inside out
Today I find an empty peace
I shatter with my shout
Look into windows where people have been
No one expected to win

Climbing stairs to reach the ending
Of a life that's been a sham
Why should I be left to wander
City won't you take this man
No one left to lend a hand

Everything happens when nothing's the same
Somebody tell me my name

Somebody tell me my name [x8] ​
