BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS (CLEAN)
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah
I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
Till then I walk alone
hahah, Haaahahahaha, Hahahaaaaa

General Information
Introduction
Sri Lanka (Ceylon), is a small island in the Indian ocean of 65,000 square kilometers. Despite being so small the country has a wide range of geographic features and is rich in natural beauty.
Large parts of Sri Lanka is covered in tropical forests, with hundreds of rivers flowing through them, often cascading in awesome waterfalls.
It's easy to go on and on about the natural beauty of Sri Lanka, this is not the place for it but the travel page is!
Climate
The southern and western regions have only two seasons, wet and wetter. Despite being a tropical island some parts of the country can almost be mistaken for deserts. Other regions experience rainy and dry seasons. The dry zone looks really wonderful just as the rains start to ease.
People
Most of the The country's 18.5 million population speak Sinhala, Tamil or English. Sinhala is the most widely spoken language and the Sinhala people make up the largest ethnic group. Interestingly this language is not spoken anywhere else in the world, other than by a few traders in Chennai India!.
A good twenty percent of the population lives in the westen province which is the home of capital Colombo. (Strictly speaking Sri Jayawardanapura is the political capital of Sri Lanka and Colombo the Commercial center. But Sri Jayawardanapura is a miniature city within Colombo)
Business and Economy
The economy though battered and bruised by decades of mismanagement is finally showing signs of recovery. Each new government seems to manage the economy worse than the previous one. Thankfully the trend seems to have been changed the last time around.
Location
But you are probably starting to wonder where's this place anyway?.
Why not make a guess try out the Geography Quiz and see if you can click on Sri Lanka on the world map.
But don't stop there, try out some of the other pages. They contain information on Business and economy, geographical data, publications, newsgroups, ISPs and even a few recipes. All of them can be visted by clicking the menu.
