Intro:
Well I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue
And here I stant in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do
As I gaze around at the strangers in town
I guess the only stranger is me
And I wonder (yes I wonder)
Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
Is this the way life s meant to be?
I know it s only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder
The ground at my feet maybe it s just the old street
But everything that I know lies under
And when I see what they ve done to this place that was home
Shame is all the I feel
And I wonder (yes I wonder)
Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
(---)
Is this the way life s meant to be?
REFRÃO
Too late, too late to cry
The people say
(---)
Too late for you, too late for me
You ve come so far
Now you know everything my friend
(Come and see the wonders of our world...)
Solo: Verso
As I wonder around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud
With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see a face instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (yes I wonder)
Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
Is this the way life s meant to be?
