I've been walking barefoot for days Do you understand me now when I say these things? There were no survivors Anywhere I went and all the letters I sent Were washed away by a biblical storm I saw a man in a gas mask He was staring at me And I was running from him I said please don't forsake me now She's moulding me You're folding me Holding me like I am a knife I'm gazing at the east and the west Oh can you hear my lonesome cry? It's rising from the waves Achilles was a hound dog and he followed me I said Achilles was a hound dog and he followed me I feel bent, bent out of shape Are all our battles now over and done? I just stepped outside And all the fires I lit have failed to ignite Except for the one that counts I'm gazing at the east and the west Oh can you hear my lonesome cry? It's rising from the waves Achilles was a hound dog and he followed me I said Achilles was a hound dog and he followed me
