[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

Hey, you

Out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?

Hey, you

Standing in the aisles with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?

Hey, you, don't help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight


[Verse 2: David Gilmour]

Hey, you

Out there on your own, sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?

Hey, you

With your ear against the wall, waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?

Hey, you, would you help me to carry the stone?

Open your heart, I'm coming home


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge: Roger Waters]

But it was only fantasy

The wall was too high, as you can see

No matter how he tried, he could not break free

And the worms ate into his brain


[Breakdown]


[Verse 3: Roger Waters]

Hey, you

Out there on the road, always doing what you're told, can you help me?

Hey, you

Out there beyond the wall, breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?

Hey, you, don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall


[Outro: Roger Waters]

(We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall...)
