Cities are stones People aren't important People breed and die They come and they go Faithless But stones are true They don't die They don't go anywhere Stones talk like our fathers talk Languages of hope & fear that we don't understand Like poetry Nobody understands Nobody understands All the words that we've cherished for so long fall on deaf ears Children, hear our hopes and fears Hope and fear In awful solitude they and we speak past each other whispering in the dark strange talk Nobody understands Nobody understands All the words that we've cherished for so long fall on deaf ears Children, hear our hopes and fears Hope and fear The sun sets and people flee and in the surrounding hills they huddle against the empty darkness around suburban campfires Above in the sky the stars come undone Below in the city there's nothing but strange talk It feels like all the faded hopes that never were
