We all said you'd never make it
'Cuz you had that fragile heart
And you were odd within the ways of the social

You through a caution to us all

And now when the late night drinkers

Gather for their falls
Someone says they've seen you out there
Laughing at us all


You mourned the cause of discontent
With those who couldn't loose the dark

From the broad of daylight to half spent stars
Just waiting dusk to fall


Tell me, what the hell were you saying?
Was there a point to it all?
Oh, did they really see you out there?

Laughing at us all

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?


The midnight boy from Minnesota
Shut you down and stole the show

They say that you were bitter in your anguish
'Cuz it was you they ought to hold


You wore your causes on your sleeve
Like a Beacon wears the dark
It's only right you should be out there

Laughing at us all

Now you are only dust for art

You're a shadow to recall
For all of those late night drinkers
In their ragged lonely bars


And we all said you'd never make it
'Cuz you had that fragile heart

Now, all our hearts you held are wasted
You're out there laughing at us all


Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there

Laughing at us all?

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?
Oh, were you really out there
Laughing at us all?
