Now I know what you mean to me
Oh, and I wonder, yes I wonder
That was home, shame is all that I feel
Where people never speak aloud
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Not knowing what to say or do
Is this the way life's meant to be?
Is this the way life's meant to be?
And I wonder, yes I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to be?
With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers
Too late, too late to cry, the people say
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Just to see your face, instead of this place
Although it's only a day, since I was taken away
Just look and see the wonders of our world
But everything that I know, lies under
Oh, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street
And left standing here looking in wonder
And when I see, what they've done to this place
I wish, I was back in 1981
As I wander around this wreck of a town
Oh, is this the way life's meant to be?
And here, I stand in the strangest land
As I gaze around at these strangers in town
Is this the way life's meant to be?
And I wonder, yes I wonder
Oh, and I wonder, yes I wonder
You've come so far, now you know everything my friend
Too late for you, too late for me
Hmm, is this the way life's meant to be?
Is this the way life's meant to be?
I guess the only stranger is me
Oh, I wonder, oh I wonder, wonder, wonder
