You dont know where you're going and you don't know where you've been
There's a billion lights a-shining and you're somewhere in between
(Chorus)
Look away
Look away
Look away Lucifer
You greet me as a brother as you come in from the street
There's a reason you have come here, there's a reason that we meet
(Chorus)
You come looking for a handout and you say that you're alright
But I can see that you're enslaved among the legions of the night
(Chorus)
You look over my shoulder and a tear comes to your eye
Then you thank me for the money and then you kindly say goodbye
(Chorus)
It's a self-playing piano and it's so hard to stay afloat
If you want to make a living here you're gonna need a bigger boat
(Chorus)
Now I have tried to help you and I hold this to be true
But I can't just be bleeding out of sympathy for you
It's a hard one to be hearing and it's hurting me to say it
But it was you who entered in this game
And now you alone must play it
Yeah, that's a hard one to be hearing and it's hurting me to say it
But it was you who entered in this game
And now you alone must play it
You still walk among the living but there's a place you'd rather be
With the Shepherds of Arcadia and your home across the sea
(Chorus)
