headin in or headin out standin on the shore pause a moment to reflect which trip costs you more between the ever restless crowds and the silence of your room spend an hour in no man s land you ll be leaving soon victims come and victims go there s always lots to spare one victim lives the tragedy one victim stops to stare and still another walks on by pretending not to see they re all out there in no man s land cause it s the safest place to be but sanctuary never comes without some kind of risk illusions without freedom never quite add up to bliss the haunting and the haunted play a game no one can win the spirits come at midnight and by dawn they re gone again and so it seems our destiny to search and never rest to ride that ever changing wave that never seems to crest to shiver in the darkest night afraid to make a stand and then go back and do our time out there in no man s land out in no man s land oh out in no man s land out there out there out there out there no man s land ooh
