You came back here to find your home is a black horizon
'Cause if smoke gets in them baby you won't rise again
Ah but it's all changed, winter turned on a man
But he remembers how it used to be
Old man with his head down, can't see nothing more around, no more
Oh Lord and you'd better watch your eyes
Having tea in the afternoon now
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing and the children played
And there was no high walls and the sea was clean
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days
Just keep on walking on down the street
I want back, I want back, back to the time when the earth was green
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
You'd better walk on the side while you're still walking
No more
That you don't recognize, evil destruction has taken everything
Oh it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street
Came down one day when no one was looking and it stole away the land People running scared, losing hands, dodging shadows of a falling sand Buildings standing like empty shells and nobody helping no one else
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no reason why
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through
People needing more and more and it's all getting lost
Where is it leading to? Freedom at what cost?
You'd better know what you're going through now
Keep your distance from the people you meet
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through
