O deserts down below us And storms up above Like a stray dog gone defective Like a paper tiger in the sun Just like a paper tiger Torn apart by idle hands Through the helter skelter morning Fix yourself while you still can No more ashes to ashes

You won't find it here Look another way So try another day Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky
