C Bb
On the streets you look again
C
At the places you have been
G
Or the moments that you thought
D
Where am I going
Bb
Though the walls are like the dead
C
They reflect the things you've said
G D
And the echoes in your head continue showing
C
Near the castles you can build
Am
Out of dreams you half fullfilled
Em
Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing
C
And you look still for a trace
Fmaj7
Of an opening in a place
C C Bb C
Where you find the life that you were used to knowing
C Bb
You can walk out in the night
C
And be sure that its alright
G D
To exagerate the world that's only being
Bb
You can watch Regina dance
C
Through the crystal panes of glass
G D
Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing
C
Still you hold one precious thought
Am
After all this time you've sought
Em
That she might be just protecting what she longs for
C
And her eyes are veiled with black
Fmaj7
Cause she plays she can look back
C C# B C#
At the love she wanted so but says is no more
B
The lights go on, commense the cold
C#
As your senses will be sold
G# D#
To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons
B
To pretend that what they are
C#
From the fact completely far
G# D#
While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason
C#
Build their towers in the sand
A#m
Down the roads at their command
Fm
When the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing
C#
And infection easily spreads
F#maj7
To the searching, twisted heads
C# B C#
As they team up to tear down each others feeling
