Stone, the world is stone
It´s no trick of the light
It´s hard on the soul

Stone, the world is stone
Cold to the touch
And hard on the soul
In the grey of the streets
In the neon unknown
I look for a sign
That I´m not on my own
That I´m not here alone

And the still of the night
And the choke of the air
And the winners´ delight
And the losers´ despair
Closes in left and right
I would love not to care

Stone, the world is stone
From a faraway look
Without stars in my eyes
Through the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor
Wherever I go
There´s no warmth anymore
There´s no love anymore

So I turn on my heels
I´m declining the fall
I´ve had all I can take
With my back to the wall
Tell me the world I´m not in
I´m not taking the call

Stone, the world is stone
But I saw it once
With the stars in my eyes
When each colour rang out
In a thunderous chrome
It´s no trick of the light
I can´t find my way home
In a world of stone
