One day you feel quite stable
The next you're coming off the wall But I think that you should warn me If you start heading for a fall I see the problem start I watch the tension grow I see you keeping it to yourself And then instead of reaching conclusions I see you reaching for something else No one can stop you now Tonight you're on the loose No one to tell you how Tonight you're on the loose No one can stop you now Tonight you're on the loose No one to tell you how Tonight you're on the loose I see no harm or danger in escaping If the method suits the style We put the mind on idle And let the others take it for awhile When the pace is too fast And I think I won't last You know where I'll be found I'll be standing here beside myself Getting ready for the final round No one can stop me now Tonight I'm on the loose No one to tell me how Tonight I'm on the loose No one can stop me now Tonight I'm on the loose No one to tell me how Tonight I'm on the loose The time we feel most stable Is the time we're coming off the wall And there's every indication We may be heading for a fall So let the problems start And let the tension grow We'll be keeping it to ourselves And while they're busy reaching their conclusions We'll be reaching for something else No one can stop us now Tonight we're on the loose No one to tell us how Tonight we're on the loose No one can stop us now Tonight we're on the loose No one to tell us how Tonight we're on the loose No one can stop us now Tonight we're on the loose No one to tell us how Tonight we're on the loose |

Aldo's standing at his table
He's wondering if he's able To pick the number right this time He watches as the wheel stops spinning Sees the number that is winning As he reaches for his glass of wine Once he starts it's hard to stop He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock Be sure you don't step in his way He'll keep those numbers rolling This may be his last day As all the bets are taken Aldo lights a smoke, he's shakin' From carnation right to the ground He knows tonight holds one last chance He gives the wheel a final glance Slippery fingers drop the money down Once he starts it's hard to stop He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock And as he leaves the table (no luck today?) You can rest assured He's coming back to try again Wind him up, he can't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock He's winding his second hand down Wind him up, he won't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he won't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock He's winding his second hand |

(lyrics by Michael Sadler)
A certain time, a certain face In a very unfamiliar place Was it really that long ago? I don't think so! Oh no! Oh no! There's only total strangers everywhere I go I'm so confused, I think I'm losing it ... I live with amnesia I live with amnesia I live with amnesia Dancing with the shadows of my memory I live with amnesia Dancing with the shadows of my memory The future was looking bright But now everything's black and white Is it true, that I didn't have far to go? I don't think so! Oh no! Oh no! There's so much information that I know I know ... I'm so confused, I think I'm losing it |

(lyrics by Michael Sadler)
Early morning instrusion The accusations spelt conclusions I'd been under suspicion Now my fate was their decision That's why they took me away Midnight courtroom confusion The sentence of guaranteed seclusion (no more Ernie Bilko) Next day found me in isolation Working on my rehabilitation I've been framed Have you no shame? Yes, but I've been framed ... again! I've been framed No, you're to blame No! I've been framed .. again! I've been framed You're taking the blame Yes, but I've been framed ... again! I've been framed No, you're to blame No! I've been framed ... again! Two weeks later I saw the daylight No way of knowing who to credit (for the education) Confused and anxious, I started walking Next time I'll watch just who I'm talking to I'd been framed Had you no shame? Yes, but I'd been framed ... again! I'd been framed No, you're to blame No! I'd been framed .. again! I'd been framed You took the blame Yes, but I'd been framed ... again! I'd been framed No, you're to blame No! I'd been framed ... again! I'd been framed I'd been framed, again! I'd been framed I'd been framed, again! |

(lyrics by Michael Sadler)
Good afternoon! May I introduce myself? With a story to be told you may need help I know you were a headline for some time But now you're part of a motionless mime Lights have dimmed and times have changed And the world is watching a different stage Don't you think it's time we had a younger face? You can slip away with no disgrace So tell me ... How long should we wait around Don't you understand, when you're down we're down? The memory of a lasting fame Is better fed on reruns, no shame So tell me ... There's one thing I must know Tell me why you can't let go There's one thing we must know Tell me, why won't you let go? How long do you think you'll last Living with a continuous past As you stare at us we say, "You're looking less like me each day!" And there's one thing I must know Tell me why you can't let go There's one thing we must know Tell me, why won't you let go? Tell me Why can't you let go? |
