Wish you were here...

"Wish you were here"
(song by Pink Floyd, 
cover by Sparklehorse)


So,so you think you can tell heaven from hell,
blue skies from pain. 
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,
a smile from a veil. 


Do you think you can tell 
and did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,
hot ashes for trees, 
hot air for a cool breeze, 
cold comfort for change. 


And did you exchange a walk-on part in the war 
for a lead role in a cage.
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl.


Year after year 
running over the same old ground
what have we found 
the same old fears, 
wish you were here...
