the hollow man [acoustic]
I think I have become one of the hollow men As I shine on the outside more these days  I can feel the outside feeding on my inside  'Leaves a growing darkness in it's place  I think I have become one of the hollow men I think I have become one of the lonely Now that everybody talks to me I feel I have become one of the empty  Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye Hollow men can take you without even reaching out  Hollow men have got you long before you realise  The poison paralyses  I think I have become one of a pair of men It's a feeling I've been having for some time I look down upon myself and watch my movements  A blind eye sees the fragile vandalised  Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men Find us anywhere you look  Come and meet our friends  Stand us in our silly clothes  Put our batteries in Line us up like fairground ducks  Watch us grin and grin  See the lies behind our eyes ...  See the will to win  We'll buy you and we'll sell you But perhaps we'll save your skin ...  Sit quietly and listen to the breeze ...  The hollow and the lonely listen too  Sniff the air for something we can use  We're thin hard and we rattle when we're shaken
