There's a big city on the cold ground.
The lights are burning and the cars are humming
And over the city is night and over the night is the moon
And tonight the moon is a drop of blood red
The house stands and the lights are on
And you can see out of the window
So where did the sadness come from?
And I seem to be alive and well
And seemingly alive and well
So where does the sadness come from?
And I can't see a damn thing
And there's beauty all around, I can't see a damn thing
And everyone's shouting, "Hurrah!"
And everyone's running forward
And a new day rises above it all
The lights are on, the house is standing
And you can see out of the window
So where does all this sadness come from?
And I seem to be alive and well
And seemingly alive and well
So where does the sadness come from?
