Dark in the alleyway
Light from the window filters down
Down where the streets are calling
Everybody's waiting for the morning
There's nothing left to lose
All has been spent and gone for good
Still you are guarding your least secret you're holding on
It never makes you tall no more
It's no good for you
It never breaks your fall no more
Always falling through
You were an innocent
Victim of all those hungry lies
Lies that were custom fashioned
They handed out the stuff
Suddenly you could not get enough
No you are left with no more secrets you're empty
I have seen you standing there
In someone else's hands
I reach out but you're not there
Light from the window filters down
Down where the streets are calling
Everybody's waiting for the morning
There's nothing left to lose
All has been spent and gone for good
Still you are guarding your least secret you're holding on
It never makes you tall no more
It's no good for you
It never breaks your fall no more
Always falling through
You were an innocent
Victim of all those hungry lies
Lies that were custom fashioned
They handed out the stuff
Suddenly you could not get enough
No you are left with no more secrets you're empty
I have seen you standing there
In someone else's hands
I reach out but you're not there
