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?

And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for the cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

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 we found?
The same old fear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
- The Pink Floyd
