No Man's Land

I could never understand that silly show
Life is what they call it and some people know
Exactly where they're going to and where it's at
What they want and even what they're gonna get
When I try to miss the ones that pull the strings
All I do is risk my neck and sell my skin
I'm feeling like an actor, every word I say
Prompted by a madman in a rotten play

No man's land, taking shelter from the eager crowd
No man's land, where my mind needs to be levelled out

Here I see the madman's silhouette
Standing out against the dream he's had

No man's land, like oxygen I need my no man's land

From a sun that isn't there, your shell of tin
Slowly turns the world into a life-size ring
Where acrobats and jugglers can perform their tricks
Audiences longing for more thrill and kick

No man's land, between the borders of our common past
No man's land, beyond the longitudes of east and west

Like an outcast, rogue, a refugee
Victimized by my own fantasy

No man's land, the story's ended nowhere

No man's land

No man's land, taking shelter from the eager crowd
No man's land, where my mind needs to be levelled out

Here I see the madman's silhouette
Standing out against the dream he's had

No man's land, like oxygen I need my no man's land
