On the road, your prize possession in a paper bag. Your new obsession in a friend you found. You're hanging on, hanging on. Lend an ear. I have a story that I never told. You seem friendly and I'm all alone, all alone, all alone. I will show where you can stay I know a place that's safe. We can cut through miles of space, I will lead the way. Years ago I was one of many men to go. I was assigned to do unspeakable things, these are the things I can never get out of my mind. Without the smoke, I am a slave to ghosts and images. You call me lucky, no one understands, understands, understands. I will gladly take the place, I'm better off that way. And I don't have the strength for that so I live day by day. And I'm so glad you stayed, stayed, stayed, stayed.
