The Hollow Man |
I think I have become one of the hollow men |
As I shine on the outside more these days |
I can feel the outside feeding on my inside |
'Leaves a growing darkness in it’s place |
I think I have become one of the hollow men |
I think I have become one of the lonely |
Now that everybody talks to me |
I feel I have become one of the empty |
Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye |
Hollow men can take you without even reaching out |
Hollow men have got you long before you realise |
The poison paralyses |
I think I have become one of a pair of men |
It’s a feeling I’ve been having for some time |
I look down upon myself and watch my movements |
A blind eye sees the fragile vandalised |
Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men |
Find us anywhere you look |
Come and meet our friends |
Stand us in our silly clothes |
Put our batteries in |
Line us up like fairground ducks |
Watch us grin and grin |
See the lies behind our eyes … |
See the will to win |
We’ll buy you and we’ll sell you |
But perhaps we’ll save your skin … |
Sit quietly and listen to the breeze … |
The hollow and the lonely listen too |
Sniff the air for something we can use |
We’re thin hard and we rattle when we’re shaken |
