Wish You Were Here

[Spoken Intro] And disciplinary remains mercifully Yes and um, I’m with you Derek, this star nonsense Yes, yes, now which is it? I am sure of it [Twelve-string guitar Intro] [Verse] So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? [Acoustic Guitar Solo] [Chorus] How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year Running over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here [Instrumental Outro & Scatting]
