There was a man who banged his head against a wall

He banged for 20 years, the damn thing wouldn't fall

He left an honest life, he left a broken wife

He left it all behind, just to see what he could find



Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight

To conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives

And when they find it they can just lay down and die

It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize



There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice

He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside

She harbored loneliness, her husband couldn't guess

That she'd take off her dress and kill herself without a mess
