The Hollow Man (Live In Warsaw, 15th June1994) - Marillion

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

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
