Neon lights flash coldly in the evening,
Whisper night-time words you never hear,
She watches as they dance upon her ceiling,
Shadow play, a festival of fear.
She rises from her bed, her image stays there...but then it fades and leaves her just the pain,
Was that her soul she breathed onto the window?
No, it's gone; the empty street remains.
Far from home,
She walks the empty streets alone,
Lives on loan,
Living in the fallout zone.
She walks out from her shelter to the station,
She wonders why life always stays the same,
Trying to avoid her destination, like all the others caught out in the rain.
Far from home,
She walks the empty streets alone,
Lives on loan,
Living in the fallout zone.
Time enough to hear the distant warning,
Hoping that there is hope to claim,
Leave behind the fallout of the city,
Find shelter in the shadow of his wings.
Living in the fallout zone,
Far from home,
Living in the fallout zone,
Far from home,
Living in the fallout zone,
