By the crowded highway stands the brightly painted sign
Where each way points the same way leading, blind man to decide
In the doorway looking for the sun that failed to shine
A tramp will either laugh or breathe a sigh.
The silver-plated eagle glares out from the mansion wall
Upon the passing stillborn soldier who can only fall
When all has gone by the wayside, scourged by what he's done
Beyond Nirvana, each is all and one.
Dazed and wondering... find someone
Is there anybody out there? Just anyone?
Misplaced grooms in bedsit rooms hide from the warning gun
The white dove flies toward the mountain under a waning sun
The plaster cracks and disappears and when all's said and done
You're there to die alone or carry on.
In the senseless crowd you pass, someone in whom you hide
If only for a moment till you reach the other side
You raise your arms to make a sign to show the hour has come
But you're alone and everyone has gone.
