The traveller is
always leaving town
He never has the
time to turn around
And if the road he's taken
isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be
completely unaware
The traveller is
always leaving home
The only kind of life
he's ever known
When every moment
seems to be
A race against the time
There's always
one more mountain
left to climb
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday
you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day
you'll know where you are

The traveller awaits
the morning tide
He doesn't know
what's on the other side
But something
deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found
a reason to say no
The traveller is
only passing through
He cannot understand
your point of view
Abandoning reality
unsure of what he'll find
The traveller in
me is close behind
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday
you'll know where you are

Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day
you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday
you'll know where you are

Tarr and Professor Fether

Like you're walkin' up to a new day

Tarr and Professor Fether

Satisfaction altogether
Guaranteed by Doctor
Tarr and Professor Fether

Find the end of the rainbow
Fly wherever the winds blow
Laugh at life like a sideshow
Just what you need to make you feel better
Don't stop bringin' the girls round
Don't start havin' a showdown
Keep on handin' the jug round
All that you need is wine and good company

For my own part
I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness
Than that with which I conceived it

There is however a class of fancies
Of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts
And to which as yet I have found it
Absolutely impossible to adapt to language

These fancies arise in the soul
Alas how rarely, only at epochs
Of most intense tranquility
When the bodily and mental
Health are in perfection

And at those weird points of time
Where the confines of the waking world
Blend with the world of dreams
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream

By the last breath of the four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"

Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow

(What are these chains binding my arms)
Part of you dies each passing day
(Say it's a game and I'll come to no harm)
You'll feel your life slipping away

You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone

(Spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick I lay
(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing
lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside
once more
To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above
my door
Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
That I shall hear
forever more

Nevermore

Thus quoth the raven
nevermore

And still the raven
remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear forever more

Quoth the raven nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore
quoth the raven
nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
nevermore
Nevermore Nevermore
Nevermore Never
Nevermore Nevermore
Never
Nevermore Nevermore
Never
Nevermore Nevermore
Nevermore Never
Nevermore Nevermore
Never
Nevermore Nevermore
Nevermore

You should have seen him
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light

So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
No one will see me
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust

And he won't be found at all
Not a trace to mark his fall
Nor a stain upon the wall

Louder and louder
Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
You should have seen me
You would have seen my eyes grow white and cold with fear

Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
I've seen many things in Hell
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
Is the eye if the Devil himself

Take me away now
But let the silence drown the beating of his heart
I can't go on
Let me be free from wretched sea that I can not see
Please let me be free

If I could see the sky above
And my mind could be set free
As wild white horses
reached the shore
I'd stand alone and oversee
And if the bush
before me burns
Should I turn my eyes away
And still the voices
I can hear
As clear to me
as light of day
I believed in my dreams
Nothing could change my mind
Nothing could change my mind
Now I know what they mean
How could I be so blind

Cold sands of time
Sounds that come in the night
Shall hide what is left of me
Come from Paradise
when no one cared
I've seen clouds
in empty skies
When one kind word meant
more to me
Than all the love in Paradise
I believed in my dreams
Nothing could change my mind
Nothing can save me
Nothing can save me
Nothing can save me now
'Til I found what they mean
Nothing can save me now

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way

Any time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend

When I breakdown

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way

Where are all the friends who used to talk to me
All they ever told me was good news
People that I've never seen are kind to me
Is it any wonder I'm confused

When I break down, when I break down

Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
Freedom, freedom, take them all away

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way
Any time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me

Freedom, freedom, take them all away

Gaze at the sky
And picture a memory
Of days in your life
You knew what it
meant to be happy and free
With time on your side

Remember your daddy
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go further than
he ever could
With time on your side

Think of a boy with the stars
in his eye
Longing to reach them
but frightened to try
Sadly you'd say
someday someday
But day after day
The show must go on
And time slipped away
Before you could build
any castles in spain
The chance had gone by

With nothing to say
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You've still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by

Think of a boy
with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them
but frightened to try
Sadly you'd say
someday someday
But day after day
The show must go on
And you gaze at the sky
And picture a memory of days
in your life
With time on your side
With time on your side
after day
the show must go on
day after day
the show must go on
day after day
the show must go on
day after day

Gaze at the sky
And picture a memory
Of days in your life
You knew what it meant to be happy and free
With time on your side

Remember your daddy
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go further than he ever could
With time on your side

Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday

But day after day
The show must go on
And time slipped away
Before you could build any castles in Spain

With nothing to say
And no one to say it to

Nothing has changed
You've still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by

Think of a boy with the stars in his eye
Longing to reach them but frightened to try
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday

But, day after day
The show must go on
And you gaze at the sky
And picture a memory of days in your life
With time on your side

With time on your side
(Day after day the show must go on)
With time on your side
(Day after day the show must go on)

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there

But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show

If I had a mind to
I wouldn't want to think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldn't want to talk to you

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

In a matter of a moment
Lost till the end of time
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine

Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
Till it disappears

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Like a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide
And the image is reflected
Back to the other side

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)

Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches but there will be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)

Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
Because you can't escape the voice

Jumping at shadows that come up from behind
Scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)

Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
Because you can't escape the voice

Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
I am just a humble servant with a message here for you
Well I know you have good reasons and there's things you've got to do
But the boatman won't be waiting and he's leaving here with you
And you can't take it with you
No matter what you do
No you can't take it with you
Not the place you're going to

(One more mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load)

Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
I am just obeying orders, I'm a simple soul like you
Well you really are persuasive, but I've heard it all before
And the boatman's getting restless as he stands upon the shore
And you can't take it with you
No matter what you do
No you can't take it with you
Not the place you're going to
Can't take it with you

To touch the sky

Don't look back cause there's one more river
Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross
No more fightin' and no more dyin'
No more cheatin' and no more lyin'

Don't look back cause there's one more river
Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross
Don't start askin' the rhyme or the reason
Don't hold back it's the time of the season

One more mile and one more road
One last bridge and one less load
One more river
Don't look back cause there's one more river
Don't turn your back you got one more river to cross

Don't start askin' the rhyme or the reason
Don't hold back it's the time of the season
One more mile and one more road

There are pyramids in my head
There's one underneath my bead
And my lady's getting cranky
Every possible location
Has a simple explanation
And it isn't hanky-panky
I had read
Somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and your wine
It said, that everything you grow
in your garden would taste pretty fine
Instead, all I ever get is a pain in the neck and a
Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap
I've consulted all the sages
I could find in the yellow pages
But there aren't many of them
And the myan panoramas
On my pyramid pajamas
Haven't helped my little problem
I've been told
Someone in the know can be sure that his luck is as
Good as gold, money in the bank and you don't even pay for it
If you fold,
a dollar bill in the shape of the pyramid that's printed on the
back
It's no lie
You can keep the edge of a razor as sharp as an
Eagle's eye, you can grow a hedge that is vertically straight over
Ten feet high, all you really need is a pyramid and just a little luck

I had read, somewhere in a book,
they improve all your food and wine
I'd been told,
someone in the know can be sure of his good luck
It's no lie, all you need is a little bit of pyramidic help

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be
Look through my eyes and through the years of lonliness you'll see

To the times in my life when I could not stand to lose, a simple game
And the least of it all was the fortune and the fame
But the dream seemed to end just as soon as it had begun, was I to know?
For the least thing of all that was on my mind, was the close at the
end of the show
The shadow of a lonely man, feels nobody else
In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man
I can see myself

(Looking out of nowhere, looking out of nowhere)

But the sounds of the crowds when they come to see me now, is not the same
And the jest of it all is I can't recall my name
But I'll cling to a hope till I can't hold on anymore, anymore
And for all the acclaim I am all alone and I see as I look through the door

The shadow of a lonely man, there's nobody else
In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man
I can see myself

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be

And I could easily fall from grace
Then another would take my place
For the chance to behold your face

As the days of my life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
At the call of the wind's command

Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you

All that I ask you
Is, show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light

As the sun turns slowly around the sky
Till the shadow of night is high
The eagle will learn to fly

As the days of his life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
And vanish upon the land

Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
Show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light
And so, with no warning, no last goodbye
In the dawn of the morning sky
The eagle will rise again

Who knows where the road may
Lead us, only the fool would say
Who knows if we'll meet along the
Way
Follow the brightest star as far
As the brave may dare
What will we find when we get
There

La Sagrada Familia we pray the
Storm will soon be over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
And the lamb

Who knows where the winds may
Blow us, only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll ever reach the
Shore
Follow a rising sun with eyes that
May only stare
What kind of fire will burn us
There? What kind of fire?
Only a fool would say

La Sagrada Familia the wind has
Changed the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
And the lamb
La Sagrada Familia we thank the
Lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia there's peace
Throughout the land

Under clear blue skies our voices
Rise in songs of glory
And for all those years our eyes
And ears were filled with tears

Who knows where the world may
Turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fate may
Have in store
Follow the light of truth as far
As our eyes can see
How should we knows where that
May be? How should we know?

Then the angry skies, the battle
Cries, the sounds of glory
And for all those years out eyes
And ears were filled with tears

Who knows where the road may
Lead us, only a fool would say
Who knows what's been lost
Along the way
Look for the promised land in all
Of the dreams we share
How will we know when we are
There? How will we know?
Only a fool would say

La Sagrada Familia the war is won
The battle's over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
And the lamb
La Sagrada Familia we thank the
Lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia behold the
Mighty hand
La Sagrada Familia the night is
Gone the waiting's over
La Sagrada Familia there's peace
Throughout the land

Until the next time

What goes up, must come down
What must rise, must fall
And what goes on in your life
Is writing on the wall

If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all?
If all things must pass
Even a miracle won't last

What goes up, must come down
What must stand alone?
And what goes on, in your mind
Is turning into stone

If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all?
If all things must pass
Even a pyramid won't last

How can you be so sure?
How do you know what the earth will endure?
How can you be so sure?
That the wonders you've made in you life
Will be seen
By the millions who'll follow to visit the site
Of your dream?

What goes up, must come down
What goes round, must come round
What's been lost, must be found

What goes up, must come down
What must rise, must fall
And what goes on in your life
Is writing on the wall
If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a miracle won't last
What goes up, must come down
What must stand alone?
And what goes on, in your mind
Is turning into stone
If all things must fall
Why build a miracle at all
If all things must pass
Even a pyramid won't last

How can you be so sure?
How do you know what the earth will endure?
How can you be so sure?
That the wonders you've made in you life
Will be seen
By the millions who'll follow to visit the site
Of your dream?

What goes up, must come down
What goes round, must come round
What's been lost, must be found

Where do we go from here now
that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives
if there's noone to lend us a hand

I don't wanna live here no more,
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Where do we go from here now
that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our lives
knowin' nobody gives us a damn

I don't wanna live here no more,
I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away

Games people play,
You take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Where do we go
from here now
that all other
children are growin up
And how do we
spend our lives
if theres noone
to lend us a hand

I dont wanna live
here no more
I dont wanna stay
Aint gonna spend
the rest of my life
quietly fading away
Games people play

Things that they say

If I promise you

Games people play
in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here now

And how do we

Go back home you damn fool
Surely you know you can't win
You should never have come near this place
You should have stayed outside, Lookin' in

It's too late to turn back
Nobody asked you to try
But they blinded you with diamonds
And all the money that money can buy

And I'm so afraid of being on my own
But I don't wanna go home

You can't win you damn fool
You drank all the wine from the cup
And your painted lady's gone now
And you're way back on the downside, Lookin' up

You can't catch the monkey on your back
Nobody asked you to try
But for every heart they held a spade
And you lost more than money can buy

And I'm so afraid of being on my own
But I don't wanna go home

I'm like a washed up rag
Tattered and torn
I wish I'd never been born

And I'm so afraid of being on my own
But I don't wanna go home
I'm like a down and out just blowin' my horn
Oh I don't wanna go home

I'm like a washed up rag
Tattered and torn
Oh I don't wanna go home

Something's wrong in this House today
While the Master was riding the Servants decided to play
Something's wrong in this House today
Something's been going on there may be a price to pay

There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless I can't put it right
Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night

Something's wrong in this House today
While the Sorcerer slept the Apprentice decided to play
While the Master was hiding the Servants decided to play
Might be too much Sun or too much of something in the Air
Whatever's happening nobody else is aware

There's evil brewing, getting out of control
And I'm helpless I can't put it right
Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul
And it's cold in the heat of the night

Something's wrong in this House today
Something's been going on there may be a price to pay

Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away
cause there's nothing more to say

You gave the best you had to give
You only had one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave
After all you gave there was nothing left to save

You've got nothing left to lose
(you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose
(who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)

You read the book you turn the page
You change your life in a thousand ways
The dawn of reason lights your eyes
With the key you realise

To the kingdom of the wise

You've got nothing left to lose
(you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose
(who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)

Nothing ventured nothing gained
No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause you've nothing left

There are unsmiling faces
and bright plastic chains
And a wheel
in perpetual motion
And they follow the races
and pay out the gains
With no show of
outward emotion
And they think it will
make their lives easier
For god knows up till now
it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
There's a sign in the desert
that lies to the west
Where you can't
tell the night
from the sunrise
And not all's the
king's horse
and all the king's men
Have prevented the
fall of the unwise
For they think it will
make their lives easier
And god knows it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of
a friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn
of a friendly card

But a pilgrim must follow in
search of a shrine
As he enters
inside the cathedral

There are unsmiling faces
and bright plastic chains
And a wheel
in perpetual motion
And they follow the races
and pay out the gains
With no show of
outward emotion
And they think it will
make their lives easier
For god knows up till now
it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
There's a sign in the desert
that lies to the west
Where you can't
tell the night
from the sunrise
And not all's the
king's horse
and all the king's men
Have prevented the

For they think it will
make their lives easier
And god knows it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole

On the turn of
a friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn
of a friendly card

But a pilgrim must follow in
search of a shrine
As he enters
inside the cathedral

There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
On a wheel of perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and answer all names
With no show of outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends
when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

Time
Flowing like a river
Time
Beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea

Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friends (goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friends
(who knows when we shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Forevermore
Forevermore

Time, flowing like a river
시간은 강물처럼 흐른다
Time, beckoning me
시간이 나를 향해 손짓하네
Who knows when we shall meet again
우리가 언제 다시 만날지는 아무도 모른다
If ever
정말인가!
But time
그러나 시간은
Keeps flowing like a river to the sea
강이 바다가 되듯 계속 흐르고있다

Goodbye my love, Maybe forever
안녕 내사랑, 어쩌면 영원토록
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
안녕 내사랑, 바다가 나를 기다린다
Who knows when we shall meet again
우리가 언제 다시 만날지는 아무도 모른다
If ever
정말인가!
But time
하지만 시간은
keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
to the sea, to the sea
강이 쉼없이 바다로,
바다로 흐르듯 계속 흐른다

Till it's gone forever
영원이 끝날때 까지
Gone forever
영원의 끝
Gone forevermore
언제나의 끝

Goodbye my friends, Maybe forever
안녕 내친구들, 어쩌면 영원토록
Goodbye my friends, The stars wait for me
안녕 내친구들, 별들이 나를 기다리지
Who knows where we shall meet again
우리가 어디서 다시 만날지는 아무도 모르지
If ever
정말인가!
But time
하지만 시간은
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
to the sea, to the sea
강이 쉼없이 바다로,
바다로 흐르듯 계속해서 흐른다

Till it's gone forever
영원이 끝날때 까지
Gone forever
영원의 끝
Gone forevermore
언제나의 끝
Never mind
걱정하지마
Never mind
괜찮아

Pay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could

Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky

Children, children of the moon watch it all go by
Children, children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes
No one to turn to, nowhere to run to even if we could

Follow the pilgrim to the Temple of the Dawn
The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone
We let the madmen write the golden rules
We were no more than mortal fools
Nothing to live for, nothing to die for

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children, children of the moon watch the world go by
Children, children of the moon hiding from the sky

Don't think that
sorry's easily said
Don't try turning
tables instead
You've taken lots
of chances before
But I ain't gonna
give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows
what you're thinking
Don't say words you're
gonna regret
Don't let the fire
rush to your head
I've heard the
accusation before
And I ain't gonna
take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies
worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to
see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
I can read your mind

I can read your mind
Don't leave false
illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause
I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool
like before
'Cause I ain't gonna
live anymore believing
Some of the lies while
all of the
signs are deceiving
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to
see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
I can read your mind
I can read your mind
I can read your mind
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to
see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
I can read your mind
I can read your mind
I can read your mind

Watching, waiting, rising, falling
Listening, calling, drifting
Touching, feeling, seeing, believing
Hoping, sending, leaving

I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini
If I tried to write a million words a day
I see your shadow coming closer
Then watch you drifting away

Watching, waiting, rising, falling
Listening, calling, drifting
Touching, feeling, seeing, believing
Hoping, sending, leaving

I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini
We are traveling a million worlds away
I see your shadow coming closer
And watch you drifting away
Watch you drifting away

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows
approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always
shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh
when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean
little to me
Autumn winds will
blow right through me
And someday
in the mist of time
When they asked me
if I knew you
I'd smile and say
you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be
lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows
surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my
darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh
when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that
tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds that will
blow right through me
And someday
in the mist of time
When they ask you
if you knew me
Remember that
you were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls
before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you 'bout a Dream that I have every night
It ain't kodachrome and it isn't black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
Well I'm Never on my own but there's nobody in sight

I don't know if I'm scared of the Lightning
Trying to reach me
I can't turn to the left or the right
I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight
But I don't Care it's all psychobabble rap to me

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It's in dolby stereo but I never hear it right
Take me for a fool well that's alright
Well I see the way to go But there isn't any light

I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
Help me to find what I don't wanna know
You're taking me There but I don't wanna go
I don't care it's all Psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me

You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes
You say I do things that I don't Realise
But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
I threw it away cause I don't want it back
But I don't care it's all psychbabble rap

Over sorrows I’ve known
And the secrets I’ve heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won’t breathe a word
We’re two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We’ll find a way to work it out
While the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can’t see the light
And I hide from the sound
We’re two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We’ll find a way to work it out
I can hear the cry
Of the leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
Of an echoing voice
And there’s no one around
We’re two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
We’ll find a way to work it out

If I cried out loud
Over sorrows Ive known
And the secrets Ive heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I wont breathe a word
Were two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance
to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
Well find a way
to work it out

While the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I cant see the light
And I hide from the sound
Were two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance
to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
Well find a way
to work it out

I can hear the cry
Of the leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
Of an echoing voice
And theres no one around
Were two of a kind
Silence and i
We need a chance
to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and i
Well find a way
to work it out

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

<i>Lyrics &copy; Universal Music Publishing Group</i>

I was just a joker in a serious game
I didn't have the heart to play
But sooner or later
I'll find a reason to throw it away

Risin' on the crest of a natural wave
That never seems to break my way
I'm livin' without it
But I got to do somethin' about it

Step by step, little by little
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, take it line by line
(One day at a time)
Move, move, move, move a little closer
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, the deal is mine

I was just a runner in a one horse race
Livin' on the don't pass line
Sooner or later
I got to lose 'cause I'm wastin' my time

Lady luck must have been a wonderful girl
She's never been a friend of mine
I'm livin' without her
But I still got that mountain to climb

Step by step, little by little
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, take it line by line
(One day at a time)
Move, move, move, move a little closer
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, the deal is mine

Step by step, little by little
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, take it line by line
(One day at a time)
Move, move, move, move a little closer
(Move a little closer to me)
Step by step, the deal is mine

Watche me closely catch my eye
If you do I beg you to remind me
Who is stronger who is weak of those who seek
And don't know where to find me

Ask me why, I don't know
You ask me why and I say
Now you see me now you don't
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned

Watch me closely understand
That what you see is only an illusion
If I'm wrong and you are right
Then I will light your darkness with confusion

Ask me why, I don't know
You ask me why and I say
Chances are you're playing with fire
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned

Watch me closely be aware
That all I do is only to surprise you
Every move is slight of hand
And every word is planned to mystify you

Ask me why, I don't know
You ask me why and I say
Don't get fooled a second time
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned

Is there no sign of light
as we stand in the darkness
Watching the sun arise
Is there no sign of life as
we gaze at the waters
Into the strangers eyes
And who are we to criticize
or scorn the things
that they do
For we shall seek
and we shall find
Ammonia Avenue
If we call for the proof and
we questions the answers
Only the doubt will grow
Are we blind to the truth
or a sign to believe in
Only the wise will know
And word by word
they handed down the light
that shines today
And those who came
at first to scoff
remained behind to pray

and those who came
at first to scoff
remained behind to pray

When you can't hear the rhyme
and you can't see the reason
Why should the hope remain
For a man will be tired
and his soul will grow weary
Living his life in vain
And who are we
to justify the right
in all we do
Until we seek until
we find Ammonia Avenue
Through all the doubt
somehow they knew
And stone by stone
they built it high
Until the sun broke through
A ray of hope
a shining light
Ammonia Avenue

(Colin Blunstone - Lead Vocal)

We're living in a different reality
We're toeing the same line
We give in we call it neutrality,
A joke with no punchline
The silver plated hero
Meets the golden hearted whore
The odds'll give you zero
She'll be leaving in a few days more
Movin' on forever, maybe she don't care
Holding on together, maybe it just ain't there

You're dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a lifeline
There isn't anymore

We are the same with no similarity,
We talk at the same time
We believe in freedom and charity
As long as I get mine
The ivory madonna is walking
Through the door
You watch her from a window,
It doesn't matter anymore
Moving on forever, maybe she don't care
Holding on together, maybe it just ain't there

You're dancing on a high wire
You need to be so sure
There used to be a life-line
There isn't anymore

If you believe in
The power of magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to
Believe in someone
Turn and look behind

When we were living
In a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in
A moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and
Hide from everyone
Can you change the things
We've said and done?

If you believe in
The power of magic
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to
Believe in someone
Just pretend it's me

It ain't enough that
We meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever
On what you mean to me?

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and
Hide from everyone
Can you change the things
We've said and done?

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and
Hide from everyone

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Can you change the things
We've said and done?

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Waiting till the sun goes down
Shadows walk in the night
Living in a fantasy
In and out of dreams
Nothing is the way it seems

Let me go home,
I had a bad night leave me alone
Let me go home,
I've had a hard time being on my own

Every way I turn my eyes
Shadows pass in the night
Haunted by reality
Living out of dreams
Nothing is the way it seems

Let me go home,
I had a bad night leave me alone
Let me go home,
I've had a hard time being on my own

I'm waiting till the sun goes down
Shadows talk in the night
Living out a fantasy
Slipping into dreams
Nothing is the way it seems

Let me go home,
I had a bad night leave me alone
Let me go home,
I've had a hard time being on my own

(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson)

Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Gimme some air or I can't breathe
I can't see so I can't believe
Show me just a little more
Oh oh gimme one

Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your thumb ain't no place to hide
I can't choose and I can't decide
Gotta be a better way
Oh oh gimme one

I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your spell ain't no place to be
Don't mess around with a fool like me
Help me just a little more
Oh oh gimme one, gimme one

Well I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
And I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Pull on the string you hold in your hand
Making me jump like a one man band
Gotta be a better way
Oh oh gimme one

One good reason...

Well even the longest night won't last forever
But too many hopes and dreams won't see the light
And all of the plans I make won't come together

Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right

And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight

Well even the brightest star won't shine forever
But all of the hands I play are working out right
And every move I make feels like a winner

Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right

And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight

(Chris Rainbow - Lead Vocal)

The hours, the minutes seem to fly
And since the last goodbye
You and I came a long way
The nights, too short to fill with sleep
Or falling in too deep
Seem so far away now

Memories, all we share between us
Everything we were, all that we remain
But memories somehow came between us
Breaking up two minds that were one and the same

The years are moments passing by
No time to wonder why
You and I went the wrong way
The days too short to fill with dreams
Or question what it means
Are a part of me now

Remember all the leaves were falling
Walking hand in hand, standing in the rain
Remember distant voices calling
Whispers in the dark, I can hear them again

Since the last goodbye
It's all the wrong way round
Since the last goodbye
It's all the wrong way round

Memories, all we share between us
Everything we were, all that we remain
But memories somehow came between us
Breaking up two minds that were one and the same

Since the last goodbye
It's all the wrong way round
Since the last goodbye
It's all the wrong way round

My eyes with your vision
My choice but always your decision
My play with your direction
Well it's my lead but always your connection

When I look into your eyes you don't believe me
I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

My words, your expression
My land, always your possession
My song, your production
My expense is always your deduction

When I look into your eyes you don't believe me
I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

And the face I see before me
Is both sides of a mirror
You really know you've got a hold on me
And the face you're looking into
Is both sides of a window
And any way you look you see through me

My fame, your reflection
My weakness always your protection
Well it's my terms on your conditions
And they're my tunes but they're your compositions

When I look into your eyes you don't believe me
I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

I ain't got a heart of stone
I'm hurtin' more now than I've ever known
If you mean the things you said
I'm gonna wind up outa my head
Can't sleep alone at night
I just can't seem to get it right
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't but I love you

I don't want to tie you down
Don't need a reason to have you around
But each time you walk away
Don't be suprised if I ask you to stay
Can't sleep alone at night
I just can't seem to get it right
Damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't but I love you
I said I'm damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't cause I love you

I ain't got a heart of stone
You haven't left me a mind of my own
But it's got such a hold on me
I don't think I could ever be free
How can I survive
I'm fighting to keep myself alive
I'm damned if I do
Damned if I don't but I love you
Can't seem to see the light
I've done everything but I can't get it right
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't but I love you

(Lead vocal - Clare Torry)

Some are born to lose their heads
And some are born to use them
And some will never know their ends
And some are born to choose them

Don't let your fantasies be blinded by the light
You don't have to save your wildest dreams for the night

Dont hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out
Some you win and some you lose
And some will bring you sorrow
Some are born to lead the rest
And some are born to follow
Don't rely on miracles to open any door
And don't let a shadow be your guide anymore

Dont hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out
Ride the wave of destiny
Rise above the crest
And believe everything that happens to you happens for the best
Don't allow the world of men
To turn your head no more
Cause if you can't let yourself go
What are you saving yourself for?

Dont hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

Don't let your fantasies be blinded by the light
For you don't have to save your wildest dreams for the night

Dont hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, reach out
Touch the sky with your mind's eye, don't be afraid to reach out

Lead Vocal - David Paton

You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up
The firebird hides in shadow when you wake up
Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company, but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

You don't fool me with your easy lies and fables
You won't see me in ten buck furs and sables
You sparkle like a snake
The wine is real but the glass is fake
Blame it on the apple tree but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
Well I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

Your golden hair is black
Your jeans are tight but your hide is slack
Try it on the company but you don't fool me

Well I'd rather be a man than play my role like you do
I'd rather be a man than sin my soul like you do
Well I'd rather be a man than slave the way that you do
I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you do

I'd rather be a man cause a man don't crawl like you

I'd rather be a man cause I wouldn't wanna be like you

(Lead vocal - Lesley Duncan)

I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
Keeping myself to myself
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
Living with somebody else

If you should change your mind
If you would turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be
At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair
I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end
If only I could change your mind
If only you would change
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
I would do it all again

I remember windy shores on melancholy days
Drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
Taking it all in my stride

If you should change your mind
If I could let you see what lies behind
If you could need me the way I used to be

Even for the moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again
Oh, oh if I could change your mind

Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away
Oh, if only I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
