You may never see me
Never catch my shifting eye
Down here where the traffic crashes by...
Sleeping out on pages
Torn from fading magazines
I don't know where I'm going
Or where I've been...

Gonna give it all back some day
Give it all back...
Down the beaten track some way
Gonna give it all back... (bis)

Lost to you I'm living
Where the angels fear to tread
Ragged hilltop city of the dead...
Search for my salvation
Through the waste of well-to-do's
Drinking brackish water
Primal ooze...

Gonna give it all back some day...etc

Headed for your city street
Along this rocky road
I come into your neighbourhood on overload...
Picking off the pieces
That the world has left behind
Feeding on the fury in my mind...

Gonna give it all back some day...etc
