Once I was there standing outside looking inBeside my window smiling face, shatteringIt's an old man's pride that climbs over understandingIt wasn't your child that I was hurtingAnd I turn my back to the world, well I don't careWhat can I say if I see you all as deadAnd I turn my back to the world, well I don't careWhat can I say if I see you all as deadUnder the dying sun it comes weaving fear but I have noneI know that mushroom cloud won't come very nearWhat do you have to believe in and all the poison you breathe inThe crystal heart shatters withinOnce I was there standing outside moving inInside my window crying face, shatteringTake all that you have and leave the rest now for todayIt's the old folks' sign that took away your chastityAnd I turn my back to the world, well I don't careWhat can I say if I see you all as deadAnd I turn my back to the world, well I don't careWhat can I say if I see you all as deadUnder the dying sun it comes weaving fear but I have noneI know that mushroom cloud won't come very nearWhat do you have to believe in and all the poison you breathe inThe crystal heart shatters withinShatters withinShatters withinShatters withinShatters within
