Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can
No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
All the laws of creation
Tell a dead man how to die
O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun
Looking through a broken diamond
To make the past what it should be
Through the ruins and the weather
Capsized boats in the sea
O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun
We're just holding on to nothing
To see how long nothing lasts
O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
There's one road to the morning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you....
Just like a paper tiger Torn apart by idle hands Through the helter skelter morning Fix yourself while you still can No more ashes to ashes No more cinders from the sky All the laws of creation Tell a dead man how to die O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun Looking through a broken diamond To make the past what it should be Through the ruins and the weather Capsized boats in the sea O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun We're just holding on to nothing To see how long nothing lasts O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective There's one road to the morning There's one road to the truth There's one road back to civilization But there's no road back to you....
