I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye


Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering


I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it

I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name


I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you


I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

To be continued...
