Like clouds and the ice of winter
Like mist by early dawn
Like the plague and the curse of an inner nightmare

One million miles
From oblivion to where the guideline goes
One million tries
Between the rise and where the sad man shows
Behold the grey of one ordinary day

One man so cautious
Trying to fill the void
One man hearing high breaths
Trying to avoid
One man so far out
He tries so hard to catch the moon
One man
Tries so hard to call the tune

Easy come
You have to name your prize
Easy go
Don't you close your eyes

One man so standing
Trying to take his fall
One man moving faster
Till he gets smashed against a wall

Easy come
You have to name your prize
Easy go
Don't you close your eyes

Watching, waiting, brooding
Trying to piece together
All the ends
Colours
Too many colours
Now you have to watch them fade

Nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares, nightmares

One million miles
One million tries

One man so burning
Trying to keep it cool
One man so turning
He will be nobody's fool

Easy come
You have to name your prize
Easy go
Don't you...

Easy come
You have to name your prize
Easy go
Don't you close your eyes

Easy come
Easy go
