Here in this room of glass and steel With the TV and the tube I'm watching with my eyes Things are getting spacier queller surprise From the bar the circus calls Check the smile and crawl the halls It all comes back to me With the life of a rock n' roll refugee And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more And I hope you find the strength to carry on When will we ever learn It's all too much it's such a burn When it all goes up in flames The trick is trying to balance all the pleasure and the pains And it's hard, yes it's hard to understand just where you've gone And I know that coming down can't be much fun any more Still I hope you find the strength to carry on In this world of flesh and bone Check the girl and wander home alone it's all the same I'm sick and tired and tired And sick of playing all these games And it's hard, so hard Glass and steel, glass and steel Glass and steel
