He walks underneath the street lamps
And through a doorway, into an empty room
There is money lying on the table
His eyes go out into the early evening gloom

Somewhere close there are people laughing
Deep inside he knows that he never will again
"Don't mind that big bang,"
The voice of reason sang,
"It ain't nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'"

Are you on my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
Are we in here waiting for the end

Beneath the screams the savern's rights
From head to toe he's bathed in an orange-yellow light
Picking up a black bag, he walks out through the doorway
A shadow of creation gone to meet the night

Are you on my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting
On my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting for the end

One more time for freedom then
One more time strike out at the past you cannot change
There are 50 ways to leave your lover
But there isn't one that will ever bring them back again

Are you on my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting
On my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting for the end
Waiting for the end

Are you on my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting
On my side
Were we on the same side before
Or am I just kidding myself
In here waiting for the end
Waiting for the end
Baby, I'm just waiting for the end
