Roling around, halfsteppin on the pavement
not knowing this town, but i bet you it is ancient
I see dozens of people, but their pretty far away
Thought i would see someone, guess it's a shitty saturday
I walk toward the flock - but they walk away from me
It's like they worry - ‘cause whenever i run, it’s the same story
Surrounded by empty buildings, with broken windows
And on every house i look upon i see a flashing hotel symbol
abandoned cars fill the streets, and it seems to me
they got a broken industry, cause people are few and far of them between
but to my suprise, couple of men started walking towards me
I put my smile up, ‘cause optimism is often rewarding
but when i started to pay attention those gentelmen
i saw how the stumbled and fell - I felt bad just standing there
So i felt i had to walk and assist any way possible
Cause they both looked sick and exhausted too
As i neared them, i saw that they walked with their eyes closed
And as i adressed them they started acting as if it was my fault
Scared i fled - It was just me, I had to help
cause that’s what I was taught i the new testiment…
