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

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

No clock beside my bed
Don't try to wake me
No phone upon my wall
Who's going to call

No knock upon my door
No news to shake me
Nights like the one before
I can't take no more

Beaujolais goes straight to my head
Beaujolais puts me to shame
And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came
Beaujolais and I go crazy
Beaujolais I can't explain
But it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain

One race that I can't win
With an alter ego
One chance to sink or swim
What am I to do

One tail that I can't shake
Wherever I go he go
One circuit I can't break
It's a catch twenty two

Beaujolais goes straight to my head
Beaujolais the one to blame
And I don't know why I'm in this place or how I came
Beaujolais will be my ruin
Beaujolais I can't complain
Cause it helps me to forget the past and ease the pain

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
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

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

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

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

(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson)

Rising and falling lighter than air
Silently calling no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying so high and so free
Closer to heaven than you and me

Voices of strangers keep me from sleep
Guardian angels watch over the deep
A ship that is sailing way out to the sea
Closer to heaven than you and me

Visions of rain fall out of blue skies
Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes
Answer my question tell me no lies
Is this the real world or a fool's paradise?

Wind that is blowing so wild and so free
Closer to heaven than you and me

Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me

Visions of rain fall out of blue skies
Rivers of tears fall out of dry eyes
Answer my question tell me no lies
Is this the real world or a fool's paradise?

Love that lies sleeping wakes in the night
Secrets for keeping that won't see the light
I look to the future and I hope it will be
Closer to heaven than you and me

Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me

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

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

(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

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

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

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

(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

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 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

If you believe in

It's all a fantasy
So if you need to
believe in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that

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

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 let me win
Don't answer me
stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and

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 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

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

Don't let the fire
rush to your head
I've heard the

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

To know that
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

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

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

If I had a mind to
I wouldn't wanna
think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldn't wanna talk to you
I don't care What you do
I wouldn't want to like you
If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck
to pass
And if 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

I'd cover anything
that showed
I don't care What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you
I don't care What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

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

Voiceover:
<i>In recent times, there is no one at all who can approach
</i>Antonio Gaudi<i>. He started a new cathedral, in Barcelona,
it is called</i> La Sagrada Familia <i>or the</i> Holy Family...
<i>The sad thing is they could try to finish it, but I don't
think they will do it.</i>

Who knows where the road may lead us, only a 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?
Oh, 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
Filled with tears

Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fates may have in store
Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be? (Where that may be)
How should we know? (How should we know)

Then the angry skies, the battle cries, the sounds of glory
And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears
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? (When we are there)
How will we know? (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
Until the next time

La Sagrada Familia!

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

Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong
Let's talk about dreams
I never learned to read the signs
Let's think about what it all means
I never seem to have the time
Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right
Don't think about dreams
Is it all a waste of time
Don't think about what it all means
If you are a friend of mine
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's losing
Talk about me, for a minute
I'm the one who's always losing out
And how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong
Let's think about dreams
We never seem to have the time
Let's talk about what it all means
If you are a friend of mine

I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning a game with the rules I don't understand
Going round in circles, I've been round before
I can walk no more
I can walk no more

I am just a drifter, in an open sea
But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me
Going round in circles, till I reach the shore
I am blown by so many winds
I can take no more
I can take no more

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes
I can fly so close to the sun, that I can not see it rise
Going round in circles, in a silent sky
I am lost for so many worlds
I can not say why
I can not say why

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

Just a traveller, on an endless flight
But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night
Going round in circles, till the mountains fall
To believe in so many truths
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all

Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
I was afraid, cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning a game
with the rules I don't understand
Going round in circles, I've been round before
I can walk no more
I am just a drifter, in an open sea
But no matter how much I try, the tide will not turn for me
Going round in circles, till I reach the shore
I am blown by so many winds
I can take no more
Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes
I can fly so close to the sun, that I can not see it rise
Going round in circles, in a silent sky
I am lost for so many worlds
I can not say why
Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

Just a traveller, on an endless flight
But no matter which way I turn, I journey into the night
Going round in circles, till the mountains fall
To believe in so many truths
Makes no sense at all
Light of the world, I stand alone
Cause I could not see the light of the world
I was afraid, cause I could not see the light of the world
Show me the fire, in a true believer's eye

I can see the glow of a distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day could be the one

I can hear the roar of a distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud

Holding on isn't always easy
I ain't gonna change my mind

Limelight you were all I ever wanted
Since it all began
Limelight shining on me
Telling the world who I am
Limelight don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall
After the years of waiting
I'm gonna show them all

I can see the world in a different light
Now it's easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right

I can hear the beat of a different drum
Take it all in my stride
Hold my head high
Second to none

Holding on wasn't always easy
Nothing can change my mind

Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began
Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am
Limelight don't let me slip right through your fingers
There's a long way to fall
After the years of waiting I'm gonna show them all
Maybe the role's not easy, maybe the prize is small
After the years of waiting I'm gonna show them all

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

The more you take the less for me
Money don't buy what you really need
It make an iceman cry, a stoneman bleed

But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are
It rules your life like a virgin queen
One day you might get over it, but in the meantime
It rules the world likea green machine

In the bank, in a box, money talks
In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks

Money don't lose in the money game
It drags you down like a ball and chain
So money don't come with a guarantee
It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say
It ties you down but it can set you free
Some day you might get over it, but in the meantime
It burns you up in the first degree

Moscow, bangkok, money talk
Park lane, boardwalk, money talk

But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try
You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin
One day you might get over it but everybody knows
It's heads you lose and it's tails they win
Don't have too much to show for it, that's the way it goes
You roll the dice and they cash you in

Pinball, jukebox, money talks
Redskins, white sox, money talks
Billboard, cashbox, money talks

There's not a day
I don't think of your name
The state that I'm in
You're completely to blame
No words left to say
Turn my dreams all to grey
And I'm more and more
lost without you
You're a storm in my head
That really blew a new day
A liquid design
Is what you do to my mind
No words left to say
Cause my mind's gone away
And I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more lost without you
I was found but then
I totally lost you
Don't know a soul that
could ever doubt you
That's why I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more

There's not a day
I don't think of your name
The state that I'm in
You're completely to blame
No words left to say
Turn my dreams all to grey
And I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more lost without you
I was found but then
I totally lost you
Don't know a soul that
could ever doubt you
That's why I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more

You're a storm in my head
That really blew a new day
A liquid design
Is what you do to my mind
No words left to say
Cause my mind's gone away
And I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more lost without you
I was found but then
I totally lost you
Don't know a soul that
could ever doubt you
That's why I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more
More and more lost without you
More and more lost without you
More and more
More and more lost without you
I was found but then
I totally lost you
Don't know a soul that
could ever doubt you
That's why I'm more and more
lost without you
More and more

He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime
But it's all for show, all for show.
Wearing your name and a number or two
When the minute's up so are you
But everybody knows, everybody knows.

Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,
He waits for your soul to come in from sky
But it's lost below, lost below.
Turning the wheel of your destiny round,
When the motion stops - no more sounds,
Does anybody care, anybody care.

Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you.

Is it a feeling or deja vu?
When he points his finger calling you
Is it illusion? Just an illusion
Picking up seconds that fall to his feet
He blows them away as rocks on his seat,
Cool as his smile, his smile.

Where's the man, where's the child
Wrapped together side by side.
Who can tell you what to do,
When Mr. Time has come for you.
See the truth, hear the lies,
Can there be no compromise
And who can tell you what they knew,
When Mr. Time has come for you
