Intro : (x8)
It's so quiet in the ruins walking through the old town
Stones crumbling un der my feet I see s moke for miles around
Oh it's enough to make you weep all that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday dogs chasing and the children playing
Old man with his h ead down can't see nothing m ore ar ound… no!
Bu t he remembers how it u sed to be back in the old days
So nice to see you coming ba ck in this town aga in
It's nice to see a friendly f ace come peeping t hrough
Having tea in the afternoon
So nice to see you coming b ack in this town ag ain
(x3)
Ah but it's all changed Winter turned on Man
Came down one day when no one was looking and it s tole away the lan d
People running scared losing hands dodging shadows of falling sand
Buildings standing like empty shells and no body helping no one else
Young child with his h ands high ain't able to see no r eason w hy… no!
B ut he remembers how it u sed to be
So nice to see you coming ba ck in this town aga in
It's nice to see a friendly f ace come peeping th rough
You better know wh at you're going through now!
You came back to fi nd your home is a b lack horizon
That y ou don't recognise evil destruction has t aken everything
You'd better walk on the s ide while you're still w alking
Just keep on w alking on d own the street
Keep your dist ance from the people you m eet
Oh Lord and you'd b etter watch your eyes 'cause if s moke gets in them
Baby y ou won't rise again!
So nice to see you coming b ack in this town ag ain!
(x4)
Where's it leading t o? Freedom at what cost?
People needing more and more and it's all g etting los t
I want back! I want back!
Back to the time when the earth was green
There was no high walls and the sea was clean!
Don't stop that su n to shine it's not y ours or m ine… no!
