[Verse 1]
The poor boy left his home
And now he's on the road
He can't find his way
On streets that seem too long
He's passing back and forth

[Verse 2]
The poor boy can't recall
How he went and lost his soul
He lost it in a way you couldn't believe
And neither could he
And all the harmless and the houseless
Breaks the people's minds
And all the softness was lost on them
Lost on them

[Verse 3]
He's an older person now
But he remembers how his youth was hung up to dry
Under clear blue skies
A clothesline saga
But he could never wash off the grime
He sees the old phantoms on every street

[Bridge]
And once upon a time
He said he didn't want to feel at all
And now he doesn't mind
(Poor boy) x7
