BOB SEGER LYRICS - No Man's Land Lyrics

Headin' in or headin' out 
Standing on the shore 
Pause a moment to reflect 
Which trip costs you more 
Between the ever restless crowds 

And the silence of your room 
Spend an hour in no man's land 
You'll be leaving soon 

Victims come and victims go 
There's always lots to spare 

One victim lives the tragedy 
One victim stops to stare 

And still another walks on by 
Pretending not to see 
They're all out there in no man's land 
'Cause it's the safest place to be 

But sanctuary never comes 
Without some kind of risk 
Illusions without freedom 

Never quite add up to bliss 
The haunting and the haunted 
Play a game no one can win 
The spirits come at midnight 

And by dawn they're gone again 
And so it seems our destiny 
To search and never rest 
To ride that ever changing wave 
That never seems to crest 
To shiver in the darkest night 
Afraid to make a stand 
And then go back and do our time 
Out there in no man's land
