When I was dead asleep
Behind towering walls
They built a world outside
And I missed the wake-up call
My stony breath crawled
To a blowing hammer's beat
There was a sea of sound
But it was silence that stole my sleep
When I was dead asleep
Behind towering walls
They built a world outside
And I missed the wake-up call
When I dragged crippled legs
Through long winding streets
Fell on knee with suffering
And the people would see right through me
