Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you 
You come here scratchin' at my door 
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark 
Of every corridor I walk

Don't ask me why I'm doing this 
You wouldn't understand 
You're asking the wrong questions
You couldn't understand 

A bridge is not a high place 
The fifty-second floor 
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall 

When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon
