Steel

Sometimes these tired old streets can feel strange
I watch the tumbleweed now where I used to play
What I felt way back then was called 'change'
Just like a thundercloud from the horizon it came
And from the start
It took control
It burnt its way inside this soul
It broke this heart
It cracked these bones
As deep inside we turned to stone
I could never change the way I feel
Only this is surreal
And, oh
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels
Of industrial steel
The riverbed has cracked to its clay
And it’s been centuries now since I tasted rain
The echoes only whisper these days
To stir the ghosts of this town where shadows remain
And from the start
It took control
It burnt its way inside this soul
It broke this heart
It cracked these bones
As deep inside we turned to stone
I could never change the way I feel
Only this is surreal
And, oh
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels
Of industrial steel
And from the start
It took control
It burnt its way inside this soul
It broke this heart
It cracked these bones
As deep inside we turned to stone
I could never change the way I feel
Only this is surreal
And, oh
Trampled just like dust beneath the heels
Of industrial steel
