You in the dark You in the pain You on the run Living a hell Living your ghost Living your end Never seem to get in the place that I belong Don't want to lose the time Lose the time to come Whatever you say it's alright Whatever you do it's all good Whatever you say it's alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way You in the sea On a decline Breaking the waves Watching the lights go down Letting the cables sleep Whatever you say it's alright Whatever you do it's all good Whatever you say it's alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way We'll wrap the world around it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way I'm a stranger in this town I'm a stranger in this town I'm a stranger in this town If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way I'm a stranger in this town I'm a stranger in this town
