Who’s that there in the headlights
Grinning crazy eyes
Made of fire and water
Sways from side to side
Who’s that in the church yard
Counting all the gold
Forty shades of silver
Glistening neon sons
And diamond jewelled princess
What do you hope to find
Among the hating villagers
And their simple hated lives
The walls are moving closer
There’s fear in the air
The drunken fool is calling
Well here I am
Here I am
So why don’t you tell me what you want
Why don’t you tell me everything
I give it all night after night what can I do
All I hear is whispers in the dark
Somebody said something to someone some time
I know a place where we can talk and in the dead of night
You're gonnaa wake up drawn and cold and slowly realise
All your crazy talk aint worth a dime
Find a place where they don’t ask why
Find yourself beneath a clear blue sky
Let them run around and waste someone else’s time
There’s a silent river sleeping
Must be someone in this place
Who can tell me I’m not dreaming
I got a simple mind
For a simple heart
As long as I’m still breathing
Till the night comes creeping
I’ll be searching for the sun
This heart is wailing
This mind is racing
Gonna keep on never ever gonna stop
There’s a silent river sleeping
Must be something I can say
I give it all to you now, what can I do
I got a simple mind
For a simple heart
There’s a silent river sleeping
Must be someone in this place
Who can tell me I’m not dreaming
I got a simple mind
For a simple heart
