Paroles de Steel

Sometimes these tired old streets can feel strange I watch the tumbleweed now, where I used to play What I felt way back then was called 'change' Just like a thundercloud from the horizon it came And from the start, it took control It burnt its way inside this soul It broke this heart, it cracked these bones As deep inside we turned to stone I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel The riverbed has cracked to its clay And it's been centuries now, since I tasted rain The echoes only whisper these days To stir the ghosts of this town where shadows remain And from the start, it took control It burnt its way inside this soul It broke this heart, it cracked these bones As deep inside we turned to stone I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel And from the start, it took control It burnt its way inside this soul It broke this heart, it cracked these bones As deep inside we turned to stone I could never change the way I feel, only this is surreal And, oh, trampled just like dust beneath the heels of industrial steel
