C      Bb
On the streets you look again
       C
At the places you have been
       G
Or the moments that you thought
           D
Where am I going
           Bb
Though the walls are like the dead
      C
They reflect the things you've said
        G                            D
And the echoes in your head continue showing
         C
Near the castles you can build
       Am
Out of dreams you half fullfilled
      Em
Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing
        C
And you look still for a trace
      Fmaj7
Of an opening in a place
                                              C       C  Bb  C
Where you find the life that you were used to knowing
C       Bb
You can walk out in the night
       C
And be sure that its alright
   G                               D
To exagerate the world that's only being
        Bb
You can watch Regina dance
            C
Through the crystal panes of glass
        G                                        D
Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing
          C
Still you hold one precious thought
      Am
After all this time you've sought
         Em
That she might be just protecting what she longs for
        C 
And her eyes are veiled with black
          Fmaj7
Cause she plays she can look back
                                         C    C#  B  C#
At the love she wanted so but says is no more
           B
The lights go on, commense the cold
        C#
As your senses will be sold
        G#                         D#
To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons
   B
To pretend that what they are
         C#
From the fact completely far
          G#                               D#
While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason
            C#
Build their towers in the sand
         A#m
Down the roads at their command
         Fm
When the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing
    C#
And infection easily spreads
       F#maj7
To the searching, twisted heads
                                         C#   B   C#
As they team up to tear down each others feeling
