Precious cups within the flower deadly petals with strange power faces shine a deadly smile back up on you at your trial
Chill and numbs from head to toe icy sun with frosty glow Why′d you go reaching your sorrow? why′d you go read no tomorrow
Feel your spirit rise with the priest feel your body falling to its knees Take your walk of remorse take your body to a corpse take your body to a corpse take your body to a corpse if you want all remorse take your body to a corpse
Now from darkness, there springs light Wall of Sleep is cold and bright Wall of Sleep is lying broken Sun shines in, you are awoken
There′s blood on the wall So what There′s blood on the wall Blood on the wall Shadow wall Shut up Get up Shut up There′s blood on the wall There′s blood on the wall There′s blood on the wall There′s blood on the wall There′s blood on the wall Blood On the wall

Your eyes are cold, I know you′ll tell me all. Not to fall, I lean against the wall. I′m on the floor, not listening anymore. I should have known, the things to which you′re prone. (You cross your arms, and tell no lies, a thousand thoughts run through my mind, a thousand words that I don′t need, I never thought you could do this.)
Your eyes are cold, I know you′ll tell me all. Not to fall, I lean against the wall.
Daddy′s flown across the ocean Leaving just a memory A snap shot in the family album Daddy what else did you leave for me Daddy what d′ya leave behind for me All in all it was just a brick in the wall All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
We don′t need no education We don′t need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave them kids alone Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! All in all it′s just another brick in the wall.
All alone, or in twos, The ones who really know you, Walk up and down outside the wall. Some hand in hand, Some gather together in bands, The bleeding hearts and artists, Make their stand. And when they′ve given you their all, Some stagger and fall. After all it′s not easy, Banging your heart against some mad bugger′s wall.
[Sound of many TV′s coming on, all on different channels] "The Bulls are already out there" Pink: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!" "This Roman Meal bakery thought you′d like to know."
I don′t need no arms around me And I dont need no drugs to calm me. I have seen the writing on the wall. Don′t think I need anything at all. No! Don′t think I′ll need anything at all. All in all it was all just bricks in the wall. All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
It′s over Look out below And I′m wasted I still taste it Yeah it′s so hard to let go So breathe in now And breathe it out The forecast A car crash It′s looking like another...
Breakdown, rebound This could be my last goodbye You crossed your heart, I hope to die
And I can′t deny your eyes You know I tried to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it′s better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all
No rewinds No second times And I won′t break I won′t waste Everything you left behind So don′t follow Just let it go The weather′s, been better Don′t let it be another...
Breakdown, rebound This could be my last goodbye You crossed your heart, I hope to die
And I can′t deny your eyes You know I tried to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it′s better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all
All the nights I spent sitting at home while you were out there on your own All the nights I waited by the phone while you were going it alone And all your different faces and all your different ways of making everything a mess And all I′m saying is that all your different places and all the complications laid to rest
And I can′t deny your eyes You know I tried to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it′s better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved And I can′t deny your eyes You know I tried to read between the lines I saw a warning sign And then you threw me up against the wall Who said that it′s better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all (Never loved at all)
Is it powers of intuition? Is it insecurity? You know I can read your mind and You have been deceiving me...
Which face wears the masque this evening? When will your true colours show? Will they be as black as shadows Hiding hearth the rainbow...
Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you"... Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me To you... Now I see the writing on the wall...
Paranoia or perception? Put your faith in a liar′s hands Wanting to believe his words But never knowing where he stands...
Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you"... Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me To you... Now I see the writing on the wall...
There′s too many misconceptions In this game of consequence When you′re finding that you hero Is just who you′re up against...
Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you"... Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me To you... Now I see the writing on the wall...
I′ve tried to visualise the moment When you have finally left my house But though your body left long ago I find your spirit hangs around I talk to you to make you leave me But before the words have left my mouth A hundred whispers come from the walls And nothing I say makes it stop
Let me be Insanity Doesn′t flatter me Let me be I′m hearing things that you won′t believe
I can′t sleep when the walls keep saying your name I can′t sleep when the walls keep saying your name Go from me and let me slumber again I can′t sleep when the walls keep saying your name
I walk around with all the lights on When it is past the midnight hour Oh how can such a fleeting love affair Still behold me in its power
Let me be Insanity doesn′t flatter me Let me be I′m hearing things you won′t believe
Well it was ok for a while Your attention made me smile But now you′re driven wild and I can′t handle it Your passion is a curse And I seem to make things worse I′m gonna leave you girl, leave you girl
Let me be insanity doesn′t flatter me Let me be I′m hearing things you won′t believe Round my head incessantly possessing me Let me be Let me be
One hundred years ago isn′t long Would you be blamed for another′s wrong Generations claiming retribution While your poets & your prophets are yelling "execution"
Who′s building the walls now? Who′s building the walls now? I never held you down I never put you down I never held you down Let′s be brothers
Ten billion people all unique You′ve only got one thing in common The color of your cheeks You put down your brothers who found a way to fit in It′s survival of the fittest But you say they′ve betrayed their own kin
Who′s building the walls now? Who′s building the walls now? I never held you down I never put you down I never held you down Let′s be brothers
I′ll never say you have no right But the only cure today is not to fight Hate will not stop hate, I know I′m right But when you trust a man today whose skin is white
Who′s putting the chains on now? Who′s putting the chains on now? I never held you down I never put you down I never held you down Let′s be brothers
No hostage has been held like I′ve Been holding mine but I′m just fine Since I′ve been without you No prisoner could climb the walls That I′ve built up in my mind Since I′ve been without you
But I′m holding down and out I′m desperate without you
Look at the shape I′m in Talking to the walls again Look at the state I′m in
Bent and broken is all I′ve been No universal truth this time No other universe but mine Could ever feel as unaligned Since I′ve been without you No instances from time to time Feel like things will turn out right Since I′ve been without you
No universal truth this time There′s no universe for you and I And there′s no one to make me realize
All these things you mean to me are you ever coming over Through everything and in between Im right there when you need a shoulder I watch you speak the ocean breathes I think of how we both were chosen Dont hold back its what you need We′ll find an answer to the problem
Chorus: I know something′s wrong I made you so mad I′ll break down the walls Just to bring you back -- The Walls
Pained black on the streets They come hidden from the shadows I can see your eyes to me Its got you burning cause you need more
-chorus-
Ooh maybe youll find it again Ooh break the walls and begin Remember we started as friends
I am the key to the lock in your house that keeps your toys in the basement, and if you get too far inside you′ll only see my reflection. See her face when she sleeps tonight, I am the pick in the ice, do not cry out or hit the alarm, we are we′re friends till we die.
And either way you turn I′ll be there, open up your skull, I′ll be there climbing up the walls.
It′s always best when the light is off, it′s always better on the outside, in the crack of your wanting smile, fifteen blows to the skull.
So tuck the kids in safe tonight, and shut the eyes in the cupboard. do not cry out or hit the alarm, you′ll get the loneliest feeling
that either way you turn I′ll be there, open up your skull, I′ll be there climbing up the walls.
I′m woven in a fantasy, I can′t believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, Aall I am, and all that I would ever want to be It′s just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who′ve seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision′s in the air It′s standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that′s me It′s just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it′s not for me I know it well The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side There′s more than I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it′s always been with me, I must tear down the wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss
