Halfway between New York and the Wasteland A statue of glass Burnin' with sand His hourglass physique Saw days turn into weeks Powerless to raise his head or his hands Yet, still, they kiss his feet And count their blessings Halfway between empty and drowning The cylinder shattered And out tumbled a man The rain came in sheets And the days turned into weeks And those weeks to years, he said, "Hold me" It's so lonely in the city The lights, they make me sick Sing songs of forever Then songs of departure The pennants of joy in abandoned harbors Waitin' for something We damage me deeply, my dear, we do And we damage you, we damage you too As we damage me We damage me deeply Sing songs of forever Then songs of departure The pennants of joy in abandoned harbors Waiting for something We damage me deeply, my dear, we do And we damage you, we damage you too As we damage me We damage me deeply We damage me deeply, my dear, we do And we damage you, we damage you too As we damage me We damage me deeply And the days turn into weeks And those weeks to years, he said, "Hold me" It's so lonely in the city The lights, they make me sick The lights, they make me sick The lights, they make me sick The lights, they make me sick
