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
