No Man's Land

Headin' in, or headin' out Standin' on this shore Pause a moment to reflect Which trip costs you more Between the ever restless crowds And the silence of your room Spend an hour in no man's land You'll be leavin' soon Victims come and victims go There's always lots to spare One victim lives the tragedy One victim stops and stares And still another walks on by Pretendin' not to see They're all out there in no man's land 'Cause it's the safest place to be Sanctuary never comes Without some kind of risk Illusions without freedom Never quite add up to bliss The haunting and the haunted Play a game no one can win The spirits come at midnight And by dawn they're gone again So it seems, our destiny To search and never rest To ride that ever changing wave That never seems to crest To shiver in the darkest night Afraid to make a stand And then go back and do our time Out there in no man's land Out in no man's land Oh-oh Out in no man's land Out there, out there, out there, out there No man's land (Ooh)
