Tonight the Walls are Closing in on You

lyrics

Lay down, lay down, lay down by my side,
the world has gone mad, but I still want to see it
I look for a word to calm you down
Today was full of sparkling ideas,
but you and me are missing it all my dear,
I look for a joke to kill the frown
And I wish I could say I was OK
then we could call it quits,
I have searched this landscape up and down
and I still can't say I know it
all I know, this is true;
Tonight the walls are closing in on you

So go on with the plan,
the wind is hard but there dream is alive,
I look for a way to make you smile
And somebody's falling hard but silent
he's on the other side the horizon
chasing a star
trapped in a bar

Is the fever still riding you or can we call it a day?
I have searched this landscape up and down and I still can't find a way
all I know, this is true; Tonight the walls are closing in on you...
