Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts
Oh, wish you were here, oh, wish you were here
Year after year, going over the same old ground
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war, for a lead-role in a cage?
What have you found, the same old fears
How I wish, how I wish you were here
A smile from a veil, do you think you can tell?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
We're just two lost souls living in a fish bowl
Wish you were here
