We drive in silence beneath the grey dawning skies
past the cooling towers where the white clouds slowly rise
i watch the world through motionless eyes
nothing touches . . nothing ever touches
Raised as son of empire, hardened like a piece of steel
i am the master now of all that i can see
this means so much to you but nothing much to me
nothing touches . . nothing ever touches
Please take me home - i am very young. please take me home.
And yes i heard you screaming as you walked out of my door
and yes i've seen those bloody faces picked up from the floor
i feel nothing and yet i understand it all
nothing touches . . nothing ever touches
