Nothing Touches

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 touchesRaised 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 touchesPlease 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
