Lost Souls

Lost souls, all of us searching
Never finding, what we are seeking
All hope, long ago buried
Here in London, in a sea of strangers.

We're pris'ners, in darkness
Rats in a cage
With anger, and hunger to fuel our rage
More of the same each bloody day
Best you should stay, out of our way.

We drink to let go of the life that we know
It's hopeless, we're caught in the undertow
Drowning in gin each endless night
Endlessly spoiling, for a fight.

Can you help me? There's a man I'm searching for
Can you help me? Walter Hartwright is his name.

Questions, all without answers
And our business, is to forget them
Lost souls, all of us searching
Here in London, in a sea of strangers.

We're here to let go of our worries
Fill your bitter cup
No need to look forwards or backwards
Only bottoms up.

Please sir help me? There's a man that I must find
Can you help me? Walter Hartwright is his name.

Hartwright? Did you say Walter Hartwright?
Yes I know him, I'll take you to him
I know him, I'll take you to where he will be
Delighted to help you, believe you me.

Here among the missing
A city with no answers
We're looking for salvation
In endless desperation
With gin to dull our senses
And chase away our demons
And though we'll never find it
We'll drink until we're blinded.
