Saga

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

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

(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!

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.

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

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

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

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
