Headin' out on some uncharted path    You soon turn back    It happens time and time again    You never seem to reach the end    Someone's out there on the street tonight    When things go wrong    He'll guarantee to make them right    If the price is right       Every time I look you're fallin' fallin'    Beaten by the wind    Every time I turn around he's there again       It's like a full force gale    An American storm    You're buried far beneath a mountain of cole    And you never get warm    It's like a wall of mirrors    You charge `em at full speed    You cover up - you hear the shattering glass    But you never bleed    You never feel the need       Everybody casts a certain light    A special gift    It's theirs to use for wrong or right    When you face the night    More and more we choose the easy way    We take no risks    We figure out which games to play    And how to make 'em pay       Suddenly the pressure's fallin' fallin'    Skies have all turned grey    Suddenly the storm is heading straight your way       It's like a full force gale    Atop a mountain of cold    You tell your story again and again    And it never gets old    It's like a wall of mirrors    You charge 'em at full speed    You cover up - you hear the shattering glass    But you never bleed    You face a full force gale    An American storm    You're buried beneath a mountain of cold    And you never get warm - no you never get warm    You face a wall of mirrors    You charge 'em at full speed    You cover up - you hear the shattering glass    But you never bleed    You never feel the need
