C Em
Day after day, love turns grey
F C
Like the skin of a dying man
C Em
And night after night, we pretend it's all right
Dm
But I have grown older and
Dm
You have grown colder and
Dm G7
Nothing is very much fun anymore.
C Em F C
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
C Fmaj7 Em Dm
I feel, cold as a razor blade
Dm
Tight as a tourniquet
Dm G7
Dry as a funeral drum
Eb Bb Eb Bb
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
C7 Dm Bb E7 Dm Am Dm Am
You'll find my favourite axe
Bb
Don't look so frightened
Eb Bb
This is just a passing phase
Dm
One of my bad days
Bb Eb Bb
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Eb Bb
Or get between the sheets?
Dm
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Dm
Would you like something to eat?
Eb
Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?
Dm
Would you like to see me try?
D G C Eb Bb Eb Bb Dm Eb Bb Eb Bb Dm
Am7 Dm7 C Eb
Would you like to call the cops?
Eb
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Gm(9)
Why are you running away?

| This is about him snapping. He's let his wall raise up so high and every now-and-again he snaps and then retreats again. It's the story of a loonatic. | |

| The wall is about a guy going crazy....this song is about him going nuts and at the same time talking to a bystander like nothing is going on... then at the end he asks why are you running away.... he's obviously on drugs while he flips out | |

| this song seems to be pink talking to his wife and telling her that their relationship is falling apart in the beginning the song is slow and sad pink is also in a very bad state as he describes his marriage. when he says "Night after night, we pretend it's all right " this is describing how they are both are pretending that everything is fine but they both know eventually they will have to let go. After talking about this Pink has built up all of this rage because he knows that his marriage can't work but he is also too afraid to let go so in the next part of the song he flips out and starts yelling at his wife and throwing things. At the end she leaves him. When he says "why are you running away?" he is sad and scared because he knows that she isn't comin back. | |

| "Pink" snaps with the groupie chick room. AWESOME song, I agree with sipayi (first comment) about when the song changes mood, i absolutly love the feel of it. I think The Wall, Album and movie, are both excellent and definatly my favorites :) ♥ pink floyd, My FAVORITE band!! | |

| Another song that strongly showcases Roger's great voice. I don't hear nearly enough praise for the emotion and passion in Roger's singing..and it's so distinctive and British. I love it. | |
