Old man lying by the side of the road 
As the lorries pass me by 
Full moon sinkin' from the weight of the load 
And the buildings scrape the sky 
Cold wind rippin' down the alley at dawn 
And the morning paper flies 
Dead man lying by the side of the road 
With the daylight in his eyes 
Don't let it bring you down 
It's only castles burnin' 
Find someone who's turnin' 
And you will come around 
 
Blind man walkin' by the river at night 
With an answer in his hand 
Come on down to the river of sight 
Where you can really understand 
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain 
Can you hear the sirens moan? 
White cane lying in the gutter in the lane 
If you're walking home alone 
Don't let it bring you down 
It's only castles burnin' 
Find someone who's turnin' 
And you will come around 
 
Old man lying by the side of the road 
As the lorries pass me by 
Full moon sinkin' from the weight of the load 
And the buildings scrape the sky 
Cold wind rippin' down the alley at dawn 
And the morning paper flies 
Dead man lying by the side of the road 
With the daylight in his eyes 
Don't let it bring you down 
It's only castles burnin' 
Find someone who's turnin' 
And you will come around 
You will come around 
You will come around 
You will come around...
