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
