the wind's blowing strong off the lake tonight
and the smell of dead fish is stinging my eyes
strange lights above me dance in the sky
and i'm all alone wondering why
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here
there are storm clouds gathering above
and they only light up when i fall in love
when the lightning strikes me it fits like a glove
and amplifies everything i'm thinking of
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here
i live in a dungeon of my own device
and i'm not saying that it ain't kinda nice
when the hour is late, and the moon is high
and i'm all alone wondering why
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here
