Beneath the night sky and the stars Lie dirty streets and burned-out cars He walks this dark road alone And he knows he'll never go home Oh, he walks this dark road alone He knows that he can never go home Broken all apart With knowledge he cannot impart And in the distant sky That's where the tunnels lie Down in the undertow Lies something from so long ago Like the village now insane But the symbols still remain His mind's washed clean Like static on the tv screen An unassuming pawn His purpose is far gone So now he walks inane The missing pieces of the chain He's been cast away But the lies remain Here comes the rain There goes the son again Down by the train Among mediocre men Here comes the rain We lost the key again Here comes the rain
