A walk in the woods after a storm

through waves of steam and graveyard gas come overground

The unwalked path, the dimming light

Not day or night, just always while life remains on hold



Everybody's sorry, everybody's sorry

if words are to be believed

World without mercy, world which deserts me

Faces gone, just trunks of trees



Get it together, get it together-gether, yeah, yeah...

You can do and say whatever you like

I can take it, I can listen, but I've only got the one life

What am I going to do? Every year find another place?

Get out, get out, get out, get out of my face



A walk in the woods at the birth of night

where soft shapes come to fill the glowing space

And now the book in my hand is closed and sealed

To wander blind is all this walker needs



Everybody's sorry, everybody's sorry

Well, you can keep your form of words

World with an exit, I'm there and I know it

It takes me in its arms

It takes me in its loving arms



Get it together, get it together-gether, yeah, yeah

You'll know me by the knives sticking out of my back

I'm a traitor to my friends and race, a traitor to my class

Want to see my blood? Well, there won't be long to wait

Maybe by then you'll get your cover story straight



A walk in the woods after a storm...
