The streets of my town
Are not what they were
They are haloed in anger
Bitter and hurt
It’s not so you’d notice
But it’s a sinister thing
Like the wheels of ambition
At the christening
So I went out walking
On the streets of the dead
With a chip on my shoulder
Voice in my head singing
You have been brought here
Though you don’t know what for
Now the mystery train is coming
Right to your door
I hear you calling
You don’t have to call so loud
I see you falling
You don’t have to walk so proud
You can run all night
Or we can take you where
You can cry like an angel
There were high school night dances
Whеre we played stump thе band
We were raising each other
In a strange land
Those were hard pills to swallow
But we drank ’em all down
Oh those nights were too short
Now they’re just a little too long
I can hear you calling
You don’t have to call so loud
I see you falling
You don’t have to walk so proud
You can run all night
Or we can take you where
You can shout out in anger
You can laugh like a fool
Or you can cry like an angel
Ooh yeah
Ooh
So look homeward baby
Keep your head to the sky
They will never forgive you
So don’t ask them to try
This is your party
Though it’s not your ideal
May we all find salvation
In professions that heal
I can hear you calling
You don’t have to call so loud
I can see you falling
You don’t have to walk so proud
You can run all night
Or we can take you where
You can shout out an answer
You can laugh like a fool
You can call up to heaven
We’ll be listening to you
You can sing (Hallelujah) hallelujah (Hallelujah)
You can fly like a bird
Or you can cry like angel
When there are no words
