The kid holding hands with an adult man
And everything is nice around
Then something happens like a balloon explosion
And they're together falling down
He's standing in the crowd crying and looking around
He doesn't know how to get back
To anyone holds out his hands
No matter - enemies or friends

A man is catchin' his breath and wavin' his hands
When suddenly he is losing ground
Opens his eyes and wants to see something 
It's still dark there's no way out
Possibly someone will come to him
Who can explain what it's all about
When loosing his fame ain't got no aim
But when he needs it, he's starting to blame

Flying up to heaven 
Rolling down to hell
You'll never find the reason
Why the world is running down this way

Empty holes inside your head
Someday may be filled by some clever man
He'll decide your fate and explain everything
And then you find the reason
Why the world is running down this way
