Watching them all go by
Just like cattle
Led by the yellow light
You saw it's final resting-place
A hundred years from now
It still had not decayed

You really thought you had something
And now that you know better
It's too late to regret her
Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing
And you tighten your grip
As it is all you've got left of your lie

Your lie

You threw all the false ones out
For there were no room
For graven images no more
And as you let her in
You catch a glimpse of
A peace that won't ever come

You really thought you had something
And now that you know better
It's too late to regret her
Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing
And you tighten your grip
As it is all you've got left of your lie

You never took the time
To stop and think about
What you did to drive her away
Without that insight
You're stuck in your line
Walking around that circle again

Singing that

You really thought you had something
And now that you know better
It's too late to regret her
Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing
And you tighten your grip
As it is all you've got left of your lie
