We walk without a sound
Across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down
To the dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars
As they slowly fade away
And in the clearing sky I see
The cold stone face of morning
Setting in on me
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
Your touch is cold and damp
The devil's in your eyes
I wonder why I always
Let you lead me on this way
'Cause you see only
What you want to see
Feel only as you want to
And I am on the outside
Of your strange world
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
We're walking hand in hand
We'll walk this way forever
Our eyes have risen to the water's edge
Watching with the tides
The stars have fallen
To another day
And the sun warms our path to find
That reason leaves us far behind
In this strange world
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
Across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down
To the dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars
As they slowly fade away
And in the clearing sky I see
The cold stone face of morning
Setting in on me
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
Your touch is cold and damp
The devil's in your eyes
I wonder why I always
Let you lead me on this way
'Cause you see only
What you want to see
Feel only as you want to
And I am on the outside
Of your strange world
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
We're walking hand in hand
We'll walk this way forever
Our eyes have risen to the water's edge
Watching with the tides
The stars have fallen
To another day
And the sun warms our path to find
That reason leaves us far behind
In this strange world
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on
To nothing when there's nothing
Left to lose
