LYRICS:
"You say you're lonely
Your life's a mess and
you're in deep distress.
Why don't you come with me
And share a surreal experience
Tonight.
He walks miles and miles
His eyes are opened wide
He sees the world but he's not there
He hears the world but doesn't care
Come share a surreal experience
Tonight.
His footsteps echo wearily
From here to there
White coated people stare and stare
At the man who's just not there
Why don't you come with me
And share a surreal experience
Tonight.
Look at his wrists
Scarred and cut; he tells not why
Each day he tries to die.
They stop him anyway.
Look how his shoes are worn;
He hasn't gone anywhere
Come share a surreal experience
With me.
Come share a surreal experience
With me tonight.
The city's lights glow dim
His shadow blends with the night;
He wanders without destination
Lost to endless contemplation,
Come share a surreal experience
With me tonight."
