Headin' in or headin' out, standin' 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 leavin' soon

Victims come and victims go, there's always lots to spare
One victim lives the tragedy, one victim stops to stare
Still another walks on by pretendin' 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 kinda 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

So it seems our destiny to search and never rest
To ride that ever-changin' wave that never seems to crest
To shiver in the darkest night, afraid to make a stand
Then go back and do our time out there in no man's land

Out in no man's land
Oh-oh, out in no man's land
Out there, out there, out there, out there in no man's land
Ooh-ooh
