Fonohead Hey You

Hey You
Who's looking for a better place
Hey You
Who's not afraid of crooked ways
So many names will never answer if you call
So many hands will never catch you if you fall
​
Staring at the blinding light of distant wonder
You realise your way turned out to be much longer
Empty pockets hide your hands
The holy coat - your weak defense
The book of days pulls down your bag
Quick look behind, ten steps ahead
​
Hey You
Who's counting down the nights and days
Hey You
Your dusty clock's slowed down its pace
So many names you didn't answer when they called
So many hands you turned away to break and fall
​
Staring at the blinding light of distant wonder
You realise your way turned out to be much longer
Empty pockets hide your hands
The holy coat - your weak defense
The book of days pulls down your bag
Quick look behind, ten steps ahead
