You traded the highway for a cage made of light Sold all your heroes in the middle of the night You think you’re so perfect, pristine and so clean But you’re just a shadow that nobody has seen! The lake is bone dry and the sky is bright gold And you’re bought and you’re packaged, you’re traded and sold! The wise man is laughing at the clouds in your head You’re staring at fields that are frozen and dead A heavy-eyed warning at the bottom of the well A bitter-cold story that the dirt wants to tell You call it a promise, you call it success But it’s just a ghost in a beautiful dress! Separate the fire from the frost tonight! We’re standing in the heavy rain, we’re ready to fight! Hey! Ho! The airwaves are dead! The phantom fire’s burning right inside your head! We’re lost souls running but we’re breaking the gear! I wish you were here! Yeah, I wish you were here! The roof is now leaking, the asphalt is hot You think you got a lot, but it’s all that you got The radio’s humming that same tired sound While the ghosts of the summer are hitting the ground! The copper sky's cracking, the heavens break wide And there ain't no place left for a sucker to hide! Separate the fire from the frost tonight! We’re standing in the heavy rain, we’re ready to fight! Hey! Ho! The airwaves are dead! The phantom fire’s burning right inside your head! We’re lost souls running but we’re breaking the gear! I wish you were here! Yeah, I wish you were here! It’s a wire! It’s a wheel! It’s a circle in the mud! The grey hits the gold in a beautiful flood! You paint your illusion, you think that you’re free But you can’t tell the river from the deep rolling sea! One! Two! Three! Four! Separate the fire from the frost tonight! We’re standing in the heavy rain, we’re ready to fight! Hey! Ho! The airwaves are dead! The phantom fire’s burning right inside your head! We’re lost souls running but we’re breaking the gear! I wish you were here! Yeah, I wish you were here! Shining down like water! Shining down like gold! This tired old story is getting too old! We’re still standing! Yeah, we’re still here!
