Radiohead Wish You Were Here song lyrics

So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell

Blue skies from rain can you tell

A green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil, do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change and did you exchange

A walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year running over the same old ground

What have you found? The same old fears

Wish you were here
