[00:36.70]The snow was falling on
[00:41.50]his shoulders by the side of the road
[00:45.43]And he watched as the sun went down
[00:50.52]Falling on the building
[00:52.58]Swallowing the children
[00:55.11]It’s the gun in your back
[00:57.13]It’s the heart attack
[00:59.38]It’s the way you look back
[01:01.70]before you step out
[01:04.37]In time to see the number
[01:08.92]of the bus that’s running you down
[02:07.29][01:12.54]
[02:08.55][01:13.86]A million lonely people with their bead
[02:11.65][01:16.66]in the sand
[02:12.76][01:17.96]Trying to make some sense of
[02:15.09][01:20.14]what they don’t understand
[02:17.34][01:22.53]Waiting on somebody just
[02:19.72][01:24.83]to give them a hand
[01:30.83]
[01:31.12]You’re designed to fall apart
[01:36.27]on the day the warrenty ends
[01:40.33]And you try but you just can’t stop
[01:45.33]Running round in circles
[01:47.38]Knocking over hurdles
[01:49.85]It’s the knife in your back
[01:51.93]It’s the heart attack
[01:53.99]It’s the way you look back before you step out
[01:59.12]In time to see the shadow
[02:03.37]of the one that’s cutting you down
[02:30.47]
[03:02.88]The snow was falling on
[03:07.57]his shoulders by the side of the road
[03:11.65]And he watched as the lights came on below
[03:20.67]And the children were sleeping
[03:25.23]And the women were weeping
[03:29.75]There was nobody keeping him here
[03:37.72]
