They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind born to lose the fight They fill the doorways they come far Holding what they bring details on a card Someone shuts the door goodbye on their lips There is no charity from where they come There's nothing left to be In stark reality thy will be done For you for them for me How far Jerusalem before the heart breaks down No kings among them cold feet in London town How far Jerusalem oh broken hearted clown We stand among them cold feet in London town They are in search of Liberty's trail Equal in their eyes faces drawn and pale So many hearts have gone before Probably ignored crashing to the floor They are the victims of the night Ride against the wind born to lost the fight |

We talk endlessly don't get anywhere
Born in reality cradled in care If you needed me or mistreated me Won't you still be there And those lonely nights when you find it hard Losing your appetite breaking apart If you needed me or mistreated me Don't break my heart It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow Just like an arrow Straight through your heart We talk endlessly don't get anywhere Born in reality cradled in care If you needed me or mistreated me Won't you still be there Please be there And those lonely nights when you find it hard Losing your appetite breaking apart If you needed me or mistreated me Don't break my heart Don't you break it It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow Oh, just like an arrow It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow It goes deep my love only for you Just like an arrow Oh, just like an arrow Straight through your heart |

There's a storm lamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable And you swallow if you're able On a storyteller's night From the poorhouse chimes indifferent Seven towers, seven sisters Every black heart walks the distance On a storyteller's night Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god's children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again There's a chill wind at your back door And the fire cracks on the damp floor You hear footsteps but you're not sure On a storyteller's night See the night sky supernova Chase the cold moon passing over Start the dragon's fire to smoulder On a storyteller's night Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god's children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again Try to sleep on your pillow and dream Sleep, all god's children to keep Though we all lose track of time Disappears like faded lines Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning I'll sleep through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again Keep your nightlight burning I'll come through wind and rain Keep your nightlight burning I'll be with you once again |

You're a believer of the wayward call
Heavens above what comes with that No crystal gazing on an empty shore Don't dip your eyes don't turn your back You make no promises when you break their hearts Your magic power turns them to dust You're off and running long before it starts That's what you do to stay untouched No endless love can't find no endless No endless love can't find no endless love tonight No endless love can't find no endless love I've turned the corner and there's no one there You've peeled your shadow off the wait I've crossed the border and so please be aware I'm never sure of you at all |

I never had a chance
Once I put my eyes on you Too old to play romance I said nothing that made sense to you It took me by surprise Breaking out is hard, that's true It started from inside No telling what the heart will do But Ill steal your heart and you'll never recover Steal your heart - you won't look to another Steal your heart and you'll never recover You had me from the start Doesn't matter, wrong or right You know you can't do things by half Tomorrow is another night Ill steal your heart and you'll never recover Steal your heart - you won't look to another Steal your heart and you'll never recover |

The last dance
Might be your last chance Over your shoulder You turn and you glance They walk past Still no one has asked Feeling much older The evening has crashed But don't surrender Don't you cry Another lonely night You've had enough Another lonely night Is one too much Another lonely night You might just give up The last dance You hide empty hands No one comes near you The noise of the band You can't talk So you get up and walk And all that you've been through It's not like you thought But don't surrender Don't you cry Another lonely night You've had enough Another lonely night Is one too much Another lonely night You might just give up Don't surrender Don't you cry Another lonely night You've had enough Another lonely night Is one too much Another lonely night You might just give up Don't give up |

Wild swan, follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies On and on, from bow and quiver Ride over mountains so high Over fields and the ruin of castles Into the evening we soar City lights begin to sparkle Like diamonds thrown to the floor Fly home It's just me and you Your only son Fly home I've been waiting to The time has come Fly home It's just me and you Your only son Fly home I've been waiting to The time has come The time has come Coming home Coming home Wild swan, follow the river Don't fly through dangerous skies On and on, from bow and quiver Ride over mountains so high Out to sea on the wings of heaven Where silver cuts like a knife Say farewell to the ships of the ocean We travel into the night Fly home It's just me and you Your only son Fly home I've been waiting to The time has come Fly home It's just me and you Your only son Fly home I've been waiting to The time has come Fly home It's just me and you, me and you Your only son Fly home I've been waiting to, I've been waiting to The time has come I'm coming home I'm coming home Coming home I'm coming home Coming home Coming home |

Rainy day
Stormy night She couldn't stay It wasn't right She never cried She's very strong Always tried When it went wrong It's nothing new When you loose And getting through It's no pleasure cruise She never lied I heard them say Just hit the slide And fell away It must have been love That let her down It must have been love That pushed her around Looking for love She never found It must have been love She spend her time In an endless search It's a crime Keeps getting hurt She never learns Takes it day by day She gets burned And turned away It must have been love That let her down It must have been love That pushed her around Looking for love She never found It must have been love |

Old men lie In the doorway sleeping While working girls Comb their hair See the young men peeping Different worlds Only a walk across the street Different worlds You never know what you might meet No satin sheets on your bed tonight How you feeling While running feet always disappear >From sirens screaming Different worlds Only a walk across the street Different worlds You never know what you might meet Some of us take what we want Some of us take what we need Some of us break Some of us bleed Where velvet gloves and your diamond rings Lose their meanings For those who we love if they realy care Keep on dreaming Dream on Different worlds Only a walk across the street Different worlds You never know what you might meet Some of us take what we want Some of us take what we need Some of us break Some of us bleed |

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall Street corner justice beware The spirit will find you, always be fair The shallow verse once read means nothing at all Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall In lies your heart will not share The spirit inside you used without care The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside is used without care The battlefield of glory pales into rust The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust No beast alive does compare The spirit beside you everywhere Let not your head be turned by tainted reward And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard Your conscience could not repair The spirit inside you used without care 'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside you is used without care The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind The loss of choices; praises no-one will sing No clues to how you will fare The spirit implores you tread where you dare The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor Distinction disappears, the worm both deplore The candle burns out once more But the spirit inside you won't be ignored The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside you is used without care |

All of my dreams that fell through
And had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind For this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long By this strange fascination Here, as I stand all alone In complete concentration Face through the clouds and the gods Shine with awe splendour Rise up and roar, they approve Will they always remember? I hear the voice of the crowd It will last forever Locked in my heart, kept away Like a stolen treasure I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? Night after night it repeats An exciting romance Shared by us all, though we met By a fleeting half chance Caught trapped in time, no escape From this powerful dream world Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? All of my dreams that fell through And had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind For this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long By this strange fascination Here, as I stand all alone In complete concentration I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?

In this strange world we have to live in
Protected by some, taken granted by all Time honoured thoughts end disapproving With all dominions ever ready to fall You won't beat the pack, that's no revelation Come snapping their jaws right on your heels Making your way through all this confusion The harder you try, the less it reveals I know what happens The moment you turn out your light And I know what happens It happens to me every night You start to breakdown, breakdown You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round Another refugee to bear the cross Stand up, fight back Now every course, blighted by answers Acutely profane, no help in this brawl And from the mouths that never felt hunger Comes no deliverance, just a timely withdrawal What of your thoughts not yet discovered? Along with the fears, they both play their part You'll work it out then run for cover The truth will arrive like a bolt through your heart I know what happens The moment you turn out your light And I know what happens It happens to me every night You start to breakdown, breakdown You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round Another refugee to bear the cross Breakdown, breakdown You're going to crucify yourself, you're lost When you get pushed 'round, pushed 'round Another refugee to bear the cross |

Don't invite the vicious companions
Though they're always at your side Only waiting to take you a ride Feel the creature rise inside you With misguided ill intent Look around, it's your only defence On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give See the hungry cry for the children Watch the greedy call for more And the self-ordained proceed to shut the door When the needy run from the table For they know there's nothing there Hoping one day, will somebody care? On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get We've got to be good, got to be strong The final approach is taking too long Too late in the day, when everything's gone Now the villain, he may prosper And the thief might do as well With amusement, their crimes they dispel The promises they've broken And the hearts they have betrayed End to end they are carefully laid On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get On and on the story goes Where it leads to we all know What you give is what you get What you give is what you get |

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn
That carries them further to nowhere The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made Despite all their efforts to take care There's no talk about anyone Lying out in the rain They're quite certain to carry on Though it's clearly insane So please don't praise Those mindless games With reckless claims Of glory and fame Talons of steel will seek them out on the day Intent upon venting it's fury Onward they move and with complete disregard Of danger while doing their duty Still no talk about anyone Lying wounded in pain Heart stops beating, is this the one To carry somebody's name? So please don't praise Those mindless games With reckless claims Of glory and fame Mighty and strong So very young There they will stay So far away A sensitive time approaches just before dawn That carries them further to nowhere The fields will be gorged upon the sacrifice made Despite all their efforts to take care Still no talk about anyone Lying wounded in pain Heart stops beating, is this the one To carry somebody's name?

The wheels of fortune
Have snapped your fragile thread One night of passion Upset your cultured head But it's okay, it's just the fashion You walk the high roads Look down upon yourself Your eyes concealing Your heart cries out for help But it's okay, it's just a feeling Someone Somewhere Is taking note how you care Hold on Your cold tradition Surrounds you like a wall Too much to carry Celestial paramour You run down Persecution Alley Your expectations The best you've ever had The thought of giving Is that so really bad? That's just the way, it's part of living Someone Somewhere Is taking note how you care Someone Somewhere Is taking note how you care Hold on |

Innocence is traded on the road to paradise
When ambition starts to raise its ugly head Prizes won't be given for the last ones in the line And that's something that we all appear to dread Listen to the ravings of a disillusioned man When the rainy days collect to do their worst Full of neat surprises is their sympathetic plan They will cut you up and sell you till it hurts We're all spinning on the roundabout We're all spinning on the roundabout We keep spinning on the roundabout I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I don't want the world upside down I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I just need the world spinning around I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I just need the world spinning around We're all spinning on the roundabout We're all spinning on the roundabout We keep spinning on the roundabout Forever spinning on the roundabout |

Not too many years gone by When the flame became an ember Truth became a lie Kiss them all and say goodbye And in our minds we have been tempted Every man would be a king Some imagined, some invented Freedom on the wing We had a dream for everything Have you heard Love's a stranger in this cruel world Have you heard There's a danger you might get hurt I won't take you down the road that you can't follow Or desert you on a sea of dreams And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem You can choose but you can't borrow From the bible or the gun One's salvation, one is sorrow Justice will be done And make its claim on everyone Have you heard Love's a stranger in this cruel world Have you heard There's a danger you might get hurt I won't take you down the road that you can't follow Or desert you on a sea of dreams And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem I won't take you down the road that you can't follow Or desert you on a sea of dreams And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem I won't take you down the road that you can't follow Or desert you on a sea of dreams And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem I won't take you down the road that you can't follow Or desert you on a sea of dreams And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem |

Soldier of the line, how does it feel?
You're far away from home, polishing steel The sun moves in between the mountain and sky As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide Soldier of the line, what do you know? About the other side, they never show They must be well disguised, biding their time Their armour well prepared, so nothing will shine Solider of the line, would you kill me? There's something in your eyes stopping you see They're cloudy and you turn your head away What's that rolling down your face? Are you okay? Hold back those tears from your eyes Don't show those feelings inside You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall Soldier of the line, it isn't fair You're bleeding deep inside, nobody cares Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed Soldier of the line, you've come to the end You'll never get to see your mother again Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay An unremembered name, an unforgettable day You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall |

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall Street corner justice beware The spirit will find you, always be fair The shallow verse once read means nothing at all Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall In lies your heart will not share The spirit inside you used without care The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside is used without care The battlefield of glory pales into rust The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust No beast alive does compare The spirit beside you everywhere Let not your head be turned by tainted reward And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard Your conscience could not repair The spirit inside you used without care 'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside you is used without care The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind The loss of choices; praises no-one will sing No clues to how you will fare The spirit implores you tread where you dare The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor Distinction disappears, the worm both deplore The candle burns out once more But the spirit inside you won't be ignored The spirit that guides you, follow it through To the spirit inside you always be true You know you'll despair If the spirit inside you is used without care |

All of my dreams that fell through
And had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind For this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long By this strange fascination Here, as I stand all alone In complete concentration Face through the clouds and the gods Shine with awe splendour Rise up and roar, they approve Will they always remember? I hear the voice of the crowd It will last forever Locked in my heart, kept away Like a stolen treasure I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? Night after night it repeats An exciting romance Shared by us all, though we met By a fleeting half chance Caught trapped in time, no escape From this powerful dream world Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? All of my dreams that fell through And had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind For this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long By this strange fascination Here, as I stand all alone In complete concentration I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? In this one sacred hour |

Can you tell me how you feel? Well, you look so well Everything seems new and real Can you rise above All the worldly cares you had? All the foolish thoughts Have they really left your head? Yes, I'd like to see If you really know for sure Are you still convinced What you had was less before? Will it last for long?

Did you have to look so hard? And you travel far Though the answer's in your heart Can you stand there and tell me now It's not only a dream, it's better It's a part you could play forever We all play the game We all play the game And though we think again Still it will be the same We play the game This foolish game We all play the game We all play the game And though we think again Still it will be the same |

I miss those evenings and the company
When lights go down around this place The nights are long and go on endlessly And I forget the human race But there's one thing that brings me back to earth Please tell her Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more every day Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more every day I take the days and spend them crazily Could be the last one of my life And what I thought that would be ecstasy Holds no surprise but still shines bright But there's one thing that brings me back to earth Please tell her Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more every day Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more every day Time comes, time goes Sunlight, shadows I need her with me, all too clearly Everybody knows Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more and more every day Tell her I need her, tell her I want her Tell her I miss her more and more every day |

These long nights
As winter comes down There's fog at the door You're not around There's silence Day after day The thought of it all Slipping away All my wildest dreams If they had come true I'd give them all to you Now the darkest nights Gather at my side I'm still confused And I said is it always the same? Can you tell from the start? Is there always this pain When you're breaking apart? She said Can you hold back your love Till you're certain it's right? Can you hold back your love For that one special night? Hold back your love Hold back your love These long nights As winter comes down There's fog at the door You're not around There's silence Day after day The thought of it all Slipping away Is it always the same? Can you tell from the start? Is there always this pain When you're breaking apart? She said Can you hold back your love Till you're certain it's right? Can you hold back your love For that one special night? Hold back your love Hold back your love Hold back your love Baby, baby, don't rush me Hold back your love Listen to me You know I told you once before Hold back your love |

Soldier of the line, how does it feel?
You're far away from home, polishing steel The sun moves in between the mountain and sky As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide Soldier of the line, what do you know? About the other side, they never show They must be well disguised, biding their time Their armour well prepared, so nothing will shine Solider of the line, would you kill me? There's something in your eyes stopping you see They're cloudy and you turn your head away What's that rolling down your face? Are you okay? Hold back those tears from your eyes Don't show those feelings inside You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall Soldier of the line, it isn't fair You're bleeding deep inside, nobody cares Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed Soldier of the line, you've come to the end You'll never get to see your mother again Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay An unremembered name, an unforgettable day You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall You're in a murderous playground War games on a castle wall You're in a murderous playground Crossed out if you dare to fall |

All of my dreams that fell through
And had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind For this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long By this strange fascination Here, as I stand all alone In complete concentration Face through the clouds and the gods Shine with awe splendour Rise up and roar, they approve Will they always remember? I hear the voice of the crowd It will last forever Locked in my heart, kept away Like a stolen treasure I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving? Night after night it repeats An exciting romance Shared by us all, though we met By a fleeting half chance Caught trapped in time, no escape From this powerful dream world Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?

Who holds the answer to the universe? Who holds the answer to the universe? Eagles fly Past the sun To the rainbow Yes, they decide Where they're from Where they can go But no one cries Someone hides In the shadow Oh, love is kind Love is yours Love is mellow Who holds the answer to the universe?

You wouldn't believe your ears Out of the dawning skies Suddenly it appeared I wonder why they're here Do they understand? Seems they will destroy Someone's master plan Looking across the sea Looking across the land Wondering what they'll find Wondering what's at hand Breathing in the air Feel the falling rain Getting all prepared For the final day From out of the crimson air Suddenly came the fire Look at the flaming sky See how the flames grow higher Alien, your day Is it not too near? All the people say Let the world be free You wouldn't believe your eyes You wouldn't believe your ears Into the dawning skies Suddenly disappeared Set their course for Mars Leave the world behind Tracking through the stars Find a different sign |

Pages were written, turnPages were written, turned yellow, the age of the rhyme
Sadly confused by us all with the passing of time Oh, no, I tell you no lie No madman am I Give me another chance in another way Give me another time in another day Give me another part in another play Silken the hand that has touched me and helped me till now Torment replaces the feelings that face you somehow Oh, no, I tell you no lie No madman am I Give me another chance in another way Give me another time in another day Give me another part in another play Oh, no, I tell you no lie No madman am I Give me another chance in another way Give me another time in another day Give me another part in another play Words that are whispered surround me and call to my ear Courage, embrace me, though tears may forsake me, I fear Oh, no, I tell you no lie No madman am I Give me another chance in another way Give me another time in another day Give me another part in another play Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Will someone take my place? I'm the prince of dreams, no one knows my face I come to rest my mind Help me understand, see what I can find What's this before me now? What's that behind? It's the prophet of the morning star He's not so blind He calls to me so clear Saying very soon sorrow will be here But before they pull you down There's just one chance for you to stay around Or else a war to end all wars Sink without a trace I am the prince of dreams And you shall know my face You're going to know my face Find the light that shines on everyone Someone shines the light for me Look inside yourself to understand The question's answered, now I see I am your life I am your life I am your god-given life |

The sun has gone and let me down I wake and wonder, I can see The rain has come, turning me 'round The morning slumber's not for me The sun has gone and let me down I wake and wonder, I can see The rain has come, turning me 'round But it's all right now Yes, it's all right now 'Cause it's all come together In the last few days it's been better All come together right now The seven wonders of the world Were broken and ready to fall The king lay dying all alone In sadness, I'll always recall But it's all right now Yes, it's all right now 'Cause it's all come together In the last few days it's been better All come together right now I had to feel good, feeling good is all I need You have to start with sad, so good means what it means And there's been lots of sadness for me, for me But it's all right now Yes, it's all right now 'Cause it's all come together In the last few days it's been better All come together right now I think I've tumbled now at last I guess there ain't nothing to choose A fallen angel follows me It looks like there's no time to lose But it's all right now Yes, it's all right now 'Cause it's all come together In the last few days it's been better All come together right now |

No more footsteps, I'm alone
From her sad eyes tears are falling Once again I'm on my own Through the wind I hear her calling Many days have come and gone At the thought of me returning Will I be the only one? Was the lesson worth learning? Foolish heart You've let me down Foolish heart Turn me around Foolish heart Don't break in two Foolish heart Where are you? Thinking now it has begun Time to wind up all the hours The biggest fools under the sun Are locked away in empty towers Foolish heart You've let me down Foolish heart Turn me around Foolish heart Don't break in two Foolish heart Where are you? Foolish heart You've let me down Foolish heart Turn me around Foolish heart Don't break in two Foolish heart I'm relying on you Foolish heart Foolish heart Foolish heart Foolish heart I'm relying on you Foolish heart Foolish heart Foolish heart Foolish heart I'm relying on you |

Why am I here in this lonely dark room?
Did I do something or acted too soon? The dogs they howl, the prisoners do cry A king he is born but a poor man he will die I believe if you look through your window Try reaching out to the rainbow You will find it was stolen by shadows Time will tell if I did speak out of turn Then I'll know it was a lesson well learned I hear no sound, though I see before my eyes A faceless wave in a desert I despise I believe if you look through your window Try reaching out to the rainbow You will find it was stolen by shadows But I know it's only for the moment And the moment goes so fast And the seconds of the future Are the seconds of the past 'Cause it all goes in circles And ends where it started And the journey is familiar Though you think it's uncharted You could easily have been this way A hundred times before As another day passed, I secretly hide All the funny feelings from deep down inside Still I can but wonder how everyone knows How they can believe in the thorn but no rose Somebody ought to show them how to see Somebody ought to tell them how to be free I am a wheel that keeps turning Cast out on a journey unending This serves me well Because I know I'm a seeker of fortune None can explain or can foretell Starlight on an ocean unbroken Soft winds will refuse to be woken All remains the same And just like a silvery fountain Comes from nowhere and back again |

All our troubles are rolled into one Early warning, get ready to run But it's hard to see clear For we might disappear With the prize hardly won When books and theories daily contest It's like a welcome from the chapel of rest No salvation, no one is blessed While in private we shake There's no time to make One small request No more winners or losers To talk into the night No more beggars or choosers They're drawn into the fight They don't belong The race is on There are no secrets under the sun All our troubles are rolled into one Early warning, get ready to run But it's hard to see clear For we might disappear With the prize hardly won No more winners or losers To talk into the night No more beggars or choosers They're drawn into the fight No more winners or losers To talk into the night No more beggars or choosers They're drawn into the fight They don't belong They don't belong The race is on They don't belong They don't belong in this place any more |

Innocence is traded on the road to paradise
When ambition starts to raise its ugly head Prizes won't be given for the last ones in the line And that's something that we all appear to dread Listen to the ravings of a disillusioned man When the rainy days collect to do their worst Full of neat surprises is their sympathetic plan They will cut you up and sell you till it hurts We're all spinning on the roundabout We're all spinning on the roundabout We keep spinning on the roundabout I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I don't want the world upside down I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I just need the world spinning around I don't wish to fight Just to prove that I'm right I just need the world spinning around We're all spinning on the roundabout We're all spinning on the roundabout We keep spinning on the roundabout Forever spinning on the roundabout |

I'll tell you something
About the things that you should know And you'll learn As you grow and in turn Be one step further Along the road to realise There's no rules Bad advice, many fools First class performance To fill the lines of empty heads There's still hope For the dream but you don't Embrace disorder It will chill you from inside And destroy Everything that you try Innocent faces look up in the classroom Soon their time will come So beware of the skilful disguises It's too easy to dress up in white For this world can be full of surprises From the gutter a kingdom looks nice You're learning There's no returning This final blunder For which they all expect our thanks They will hide From the kill to survive The great disaster They'll take great care and will avoid Being there 'Cause it's more than they dare Innocent faces look up in the classroom Soon their time will come Don't be fooled by the shining appearance It gets tarnished in time, don't we all They'll be wearing their wealth on their fingers And instructing us all how to fall You're learning There's no returning |

Wait, here's a word or two
To you who are passing through Time is on your side Though some may be denied Just waiting, standing around The time will come for everyone Still waiting, soon to be found The light inside of everyone Nobody said that it was easy You know it ain't easy Making your way all by yourself But you take what you've got Though it don't seem a lot And you give it the best that you can Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Though we must carry on In time we will think upon All those peaceful nights When everything went right Just waiting, standing around The time will come for everyone Still waiting, soon to be found The light inside of everyone Nobody said that it was easy You know it ain't easy Making your way all by yourself You know it ain't easy But you take what you've got Though it don't seem a lot And you give it the best that you can Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day Life is a precious thing So don't burn it up Start living it day by day |
