You thought you had it in the bag
Thought you had it all figured out But now you're having second thoughts You don't really know your ins from outs You won't accept the lot you've drawn You can't face the error of your ways You turned your back and walked away Seem bent on finding better days How long did your dream carry on How long did your dream spin around You'd better grab your things and run All your friends have left you behind I have no answers for you now I just wish you had an open mind How long did your dream carry on How long did your dream spin around How long did your dream carry on How long did your dream spin around |

Ellery Sneed had one great need
To do everything just right, If things were not planned and all done by hand He would ready himself for a fight. One afternoon while sitting alone He came to a great realization When it's his turn to die Will there be enough time for plenty of planned preparation With a few minutes thought his decision was clear A fate most perfectly neat Not a friend could remain to witness his death So a terminal wine he would treat. The plan was to hold a very large feast Serving the wine at the end Joining the fun would be everyone He'd been calling his friend. Invitations went out, all guests did arrive, The meal looked a great success, Deciding the time he brought out the wine, Up stood a familiar guest. Here's a toast to our gracious host Said Ell's friend Billingford Bluffer Never in my life will I taste but a bite Of a more perfectly planned out supper. |

Can you see the day,
When everyone can say they've got one? A cloud is moving in, blotting out your landmine vision So many are afraid, concealing all their secret weapons You can see it in their eyes, Like the brake lights on a highway glisten Three billion is a lot, it's impossible to separate them A career is made and lost, in sorting out the devastation What you get you've got, the rest can be imagination And what you lose you've lost, Here comes the instant separation Careful where you step There may be a mine under there |

You look at him twice
Think of how nice His one on one face He promised no bite And finish a fight "Place coin in slot provided" Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands How long have you been listening? How long have you been listening? Three in a row Is your reason to go on Spending your money You've been here before You've spent a lot more This makes it less funny How long have you been listening? How long have you been listening? Just a few feet away Just a little to pay You thought you were cured Now you've been lured here Face your own desire To this smiling toy Which brings you the joy No harm just to enquire Ice, Nice, everything's twice as bright with money in your hands (repeat) How long have you been listening? (repeat) Just a few feet away Just a little to pay |

One more time And why should I - take a chance on you? One more time I wanna know what makes you tick I wanna know I wanna know what makes you tick So tell me - how can I-take a chance on you?

How long have you been like this?
Is there anything I can do? One can only imagine what you've been through How long have you been waiting? It looks like you could use a friend If I put you back together could you start again? Would you start again? Tell me father, when will I get my cross? Tell me father Tell me how many pieces Does it take to make you whole? Maybe I should take you home, And neither of us would have to be alone Tell me father, when will I get my cross? Tell me father Tell me father, when will I get my cross? Tell me father |

So you won't tell me, where you've been up to now
I don't know, they've seen you come and go (oh) You're well on your way but never leaving the chair Playing scenes on T.V. screens Watching widely to glimpse the full view While the hours have their hands all over you You say that you see me, well I see you too I look behind, what do you find, all but an empty room Scratching the surface and you can't get away You've travelled far and so far you have nothing to say [Chorus] Scratching the surface You better come up for air A new experience to get you there Scratching the surface You better come up for air Strapped to the media, a machine to fear You're onto something then it slips right away It's in your hand, follow through right in front of you You say that you hear me, well I hear you too My secret is no secret, outside of the tube So you won't tell me, what you've done up to now You're watching me, I'm watching you decide (oh) Scratching the surface, you can't get away You tried so hard, and so far you have nothing to say [Repeat Chorus] |

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 |

Don't be fooled by what you see
I'm just an ordinary man So many years I've sacrificed my needs So give the gentleman a hand I can make you look the other way I know exactly what you'll see It never ceases to amaze What you're watching is my dreams But oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last I was alone until I learned The security of illusion I can't explain but you must observe The security of illusion But oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last Now just look into my eyes I've found the way Through the confusion That's why I've lived my life Safe inside the security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion Oh if you want some more All you have to do is ask Oh you think you've seen it all But I always save the best for last Now just look into my eyes I've found the way Through the confusion That's why I've lived my life Safe inside the security of illusion The security of illusion The security of illusion I was alone until I learned The security of illusion I've found a home and it's safe and sound The security of illusion I can't explain the security of... |

It's days like these
That resurrect all the memories I wonder what I'd say if you were here today When I think of you Mixed emotions cloud my view Would you be proud or have I let you down I don't look back in anger I look back in awe 'Cause every time I stumbled You never let me fall I don't believe in miracles I don't believe wishes come true But I do believe I still believe in you I don't believe in fairy tales Or the man in the moon But I do believe each day I walk with you My thoughts of you Will keep me awake tonight But if sleep I dream in black & white I don't believe in miracles I don't believe wishes come true But I do believe each day I walk with you |

Some come early,
and some come late Some hold back and some can't wait Some have nightmares and some have dreams Life's not always what it seems. Don't wanna know about the chains That still hold you. Don't wanna hear about the games That we Play. I Wanna know just who I am And where I stand and who will hold My hand if once again I find my life in disarray. Don't wanna know about the final solution I'm in no hurry to find it out What comes next. Heaven can wait. Some come early, and some come late Some hold back and some can't wait Some have nightmares and some have dreams Life's not always what it seems. Don't wanna know about the dreams That still haunt you. Don't wanna know about the lives That We've lived Don't wanna know what's on you mind Or how you find the time to separate the Truth from fiction, when we go our separate ways. Heaven can wait. |

Back in ten minutes
And I'll just hang the sign I've got to find a place To clear my mind (Chorus) I'm the flyer With only one desire I'm the flyer Nobody's gonna shoot me down I've got an urgent appointment And I can't be late I've got a million things That have to wait Just hang on a minute I'll try to hurry back I hate to make you wait But I'm going and I'm going fast (Repeat Chorus) I fly-- and never look back I fly away before they shoot me down I fly I'll hang the sign and find a place to clear my mind I fly-- and never look back I fly away before they shoot me down I fly Hate to make you wait |

(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! |

Lately I've been watching a little complex grow
You know, you gotta know That's why I chose to tell 'ya That humble stance and timid glance Makes your world turn so slow You know, you gotta know There's no one going to help you Watching you, that shyness too, with everyone you know You know, you gotta know That's how they step around you It takes you twice the time to find the things you're looking for You know, you're moving slow No one will stop to tell you You can light up anyone you please You should spend less time down on your knees Lately I've been watching a little complex grow You know, you gotta know That's why I chose to tell 'ya That humble stance and timid glance Makes your world turn so slow You know, you gotta know There's no one going to help you (x5) Lately I've been watching a little complex grow You know, you gotta know That's why I chose to tell 'ya That humble stance and timid glance Makes your world turn so slow You know, you gotta know There's no one going to help you |
