He feels fireproof Maybe religion still offers him proof And he walks right through you and I now, silently making his usual rounds Oh, you're over and done with now You've broken my heart in But that's not important A minor misfortune Now you're over and done with now The death of a city And nobody really cared Backstreets, somebody weeps Closed-circuit cameras are making the sweep And they look down on grass turning brown 'Cos nothing is able to live in this town So you go out, late, and look for the stars All you see is orange on the clouds Are we able to see what somebody was dreaming in steel and in stone?
