Lyrics for A Passing Feeling

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell And I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling In the city I built up and blew to hell I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still I send all the time My request for relief Down a dead power line Though I'm beyond belief In the help I require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still I send all the time My request for relief Down a dead power line Though I'm beyond belief In the help I require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall
