Nothing Touches
(Sullivan)
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
