Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pale? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk-on part In the war for a lead-role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
