I walk these rain-soaked city streets
Of emptiness each night
Nothing's wrong, but nothing is quite right
I hate the feeling of being all alone
So I reach for anything I can
To keep from going home alone
Emptiness surrounds me, it's in everybody's eyes
I'm like an echo chamber, way down deep, deep, deep inside
Prisoner of my destiny, something I just can't fight
So I walk these rain-soaked city streets
Of emptiness each night

Emptiness surrounds me, it's in everybody's eyes
I'm like an echo chamber, way down deep, deep, deep inside
Prisoner of my destiny, something I just can't fight
So I walk these rain-soaked city streets
Of emptiness each night
Once I knew a woman, first she seemed to be so kind
Then she seemed to need to own my body, soul, and mind
I couldn't give to her the things she seemed to need the most
So I walk these rain-soaked city streets
Of emptiness just like a ghost

I've met people with their husbands and their wives
They seem to be so happy with their pragmatic lives
But I have no conception of that existential home
So I walk these rain-soaked city streets
Of emptiness alone each night forever, forever
Until tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes, so I'm stuck forever in today

I walk these rain-soaked city streets alone each night
Oh, nothing's wrong, but then nothing's ever quite right
I hate the feeling of being all alone
So I reach for anything I can to keep going on alone, alone

So I reach for anything I can to keep going on alone, alone
