Living in the shadows,
when the light of day has come
In a crazy game played
on the empty streets,
a shooting gallery
In a fairground in the sun
It's watched by a few and millions
Rated high, hey, must you see?
Led by just as fools and hy pocrites
In a corp of foolery
For the whole damn world to see
You gotta run through the city
Keep your head down, don't be seen
Look out to the bridge there
All the squad tours are in
Thunder cracks the si lence
It's an epic tale to tell
They're gonna charge you a pretty penny
to en ter the gates of hell
They're gonna red -hot damn us all
They brought in a cast
of thousands
Flowin' in from Hollywood
They got all the need,
they're gonna make a star
Out of paper, out of wood
He looks terrific, yeah,
he's looking good
In circles, spinning circles
Going round and round and round
They're running wild and
full of empty words
Like a spinning carousel
With no horses to be found
You gotta run through the city
Keep your head down, don't be seen
Look out to the bridge that
All those quiet souls are in
Thunder cracks the silence
It's an epic tale to tell
They're gonna charge
you a pretty penny now
To untie the gates of hell
They've got a red -hot tear to sell
