Once I was there Standing outside Looking in Beside my window Smiling face, shattering It's an old man's pride That climbs over understanding It wasn't your child That I was hurting
(pre-chorus) And I turn my back to the world Well I don't care What can I say if I see you all as dead
(chorus) Under the dying sun it comes Weaving fear but I have none I know that mushroom cloud Won't come very near What do you have to believe in And all the poison you breathe in The crystal heart shatters within
Once I was there Standing outside Moving in Inside my window Crying face, shattering Take all that you have And leave the rest now for today It's the old folk's sign That took away for chastity
