I left home, tears in my eye
Where I was going, I had no idea
That must have been the last time I cried
From that moment forward all my teardrops disappeared

Yeah, I'm going down where there ain't no one around
And nobody knows who I am
There's no way out, no north, no south
Here, in no man's land

Digging for days but no sign of diamonds
All that I saw was garbage and worms
And a glimpse of the future, the maniac horizon
A silhouette, I will dance in the lightning storm

Yeah, I'm going down to the forgotten part of town
With roses and rubies in my hands
The fog rolls in and waltzes with the wind
Here, in no man's land

The time finally came to abandon my name
Take a blind-eyed leap into the big-old unknown
Someday maybe you'll find me like a wild Santa Claus
In a tinfoil hat talking on a disconnected telephone

But I got my crown and I got my sacred cow
I'm a Buddha in the blazing, sinking sand
The purple skies electrify my eyes
Here, in no man's land
Tell my neighbor to water my plants
Tell the Devil that I learned how to dance
Tell the Angels to wait up for me
Tell the world I'm free

And I'm deep in a dream the landscape is empty
Except for one soul, she's waiting there for me
I fell into her arms, I faintly remember
The sweet song of salvation, the hummingbirds in the trees

Yeah, I'm checking out and I'm riding on a cloud
Back to where my whole being began
Well, I started to speak in tongues and swing around the sun
Here, in no man's land

Here, in no man's land
Here, in no man's land
