Is There Anybody Out There? Lyrics
[Intro]
”Well, only got an hour of daylight left, better get started. Isn't it unsafe to travel at night? It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. Your father's gonna pick up our trail before long. Can Lorca ride? He'll have to ride. Lorca, time to go! Chengra, thank you for everything. Let's go. Goodbye, Chengra, Goodbye, Missy! I'll be back one day”
[Refrain]
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Ah, is there anybody out there?
[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

About
Genius Annotation
In questioning whether anybody is out there, Pink begins to realize the expansiveness of his wall and the consequences of his self-imposed reclusion.
The track would later name a live album of The Wall tour.
