Ballad of an Unknown
The city is a prairie
That combs its hair
Shaves its face
Didn't wanna move here
Had to get a new job
Just another place
Fate is an arrow
Can't pull it out
Gotta break it off
He was alive when I found him
His eyes were sad
His cheeks were pale
No signs of violence or foul play
Maybe he slipped and fell
He could barely breathe
He drew me close
Whispered in my ear
How long
How long
Can this go on?
Time moves on
Pеople pass by
He remains
On thе ground
By a busy street
Without a name
Wonder what happened
None of their business
Just another day
How long
How long
Can this go on?
That combs its hair
Shaves its face
Didn't wanna move here
Had to get a new job
Just another place
Fate is an arrow
Can't pull it out
Gotta break it off
He was alive when I found him
His eyes were sad
His cheeks were pale
No signs of violence or foul play
Maybe he slipped and fell
He could barely breathe
He drew me close
Whispered in my ear
How long
How long
Can this go on?
Time moves on
Pеople pass by
He remains
On thе ground
By a busy street
Without a name
Wonder what happened
None of their business
Just another day
How long
How long
Can this go on?
