I was born beneath a smoky light, couldn't faze me if you tried.
I've got a broken father and a head full of ghosts
Lost my mother to a paper war, lost my mother to a paper war.
I don't know where I'm going but I'm headed there fast
Floating on the memories of a lifetimes past.
I'm missing that man with the darkened eyes
He's got the soul of a lion and the claws and the cry
Soul of a lion and the claws and the cry.

So please help me understand.
How do you smile and shake a cruel man's hand ?
Please help me see the light
I don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight.
Don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight.

Woke up today and the sun had died.
People they shivered but they just couldn't cry.
There floating on the fumes of war and cash
Never come together, never want to go last.
Never come together, never want to go last.
And where was that man when the sun went down
Where was that man when I lost my crown ?
Where was that man when I needed him most ?
In the fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts.

So please help me understand.
How do you smile and shake a cruel man's hand ?
Please help me see the light
I don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight.
Don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight.
