If ever you are walkin' down the lonely street
No one to lean on
No one to help you on
Cars and buildings so high
Dispairity so wide
The only dreams we can see
Are the ones on tv
If you need somebody,
If you need,
If you grieve,
I'm your sole salvation
The city is on fire
can't you see these streets
emptied in ashes, witless
made afraid
made expatriots
made youth of idle science and unbelief
so far from my brother
passin' down the street
