Nothing Touches

We drive in silence
Beneath the great 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 ...
