Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So, so you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell
[Verse 2]
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage
[Verse 3]
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fish bowl
Year after year
Runnin' over the same old ground
What have you found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Written by: David Gilmour, Roger Waters
