If you want I'll sell you a life story
About a man who's at loggerheads with his past all the time
He's alive and living in purgatory
All he's doing is rooming up in hotels
And scooping up lots of wine
There was once a boy of life
Who lived upon a knife
He took his share of everywhere
But he never took a wife...
He was born to live like a mercenary
Well personally I think that's fine
If you're in the right mind
He was burned by the twentieth century
Now he's doing time
In the back of his mind
He can hear them outside
Better run, Rabbit run
Run into the sun
Kick your heels in the killing fields
Run rabbit run
You're a son of a gun

I was lookin' thru my window
I was lookin' thru my eyes
And there's a big black car coming
Get off the street outside - come in
Go into a pipedream no-one listens anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
I was going thru a nightmare
I was layin' on the line
And there's a big black train coming
D'you think it would be a shame running
Go into a bathroom
No-one looking anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
I was lookin' thru my window
I was lookin' thru my eyes
And there's a big black cloud coming
Get off the street outside - come in
Go into a pipedream no-one listens anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight

The melody always finds me
Whenever the thought reminds me
Breaking a chain inside my head
The melody chord unwinds me
The rhythm of life unties me
Brushing the hands of time away
If you look in your mind
Do you know what you will find
Open your mind...
Even the words they fail me
Oh look what it's doing to me
I never say what I want to say
It's only a word believe me
If only the world could see me
I promise I'd send the word away
If you look with your eyes
Do you know what you will find
Open your mind

I am the toiler the old ship-slave
I stoke the fire that keep you brave
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
I am the voyager of the ocean grey
I wayfarer see fairway
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
I am the sailor - the ocean slave
Fill your sail with the breath I gave
And this I give for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
I am the captain of the love brigade
With every breath I am your slave
And this I gave for all mankind
Sail away on an ocean wave
..sail away on an ocean wave
..sail away on the airwaves...

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

Oh no don't go down to Doledrum
Oh no don't go down to Doledrum
If you know what's good for you
Then you know what you can do
Just 'get up a fuss and shout'
Get on the bus get out of Doledrum
All my life goes by in Doledrum
I'll see ninety-five in Doledrum
I can't see much down for me
I think I'll run away to see
I'll just get on my coat and shout
Get on the boat get out of Doledrum

I woke up with a feeling
And found me lying on the floor
I look up at the ceiling
I must be dreaming
When I get that feeling
Oh my Lord I can't take no more
You can't stop that feeling
It just goes on for evermore
What we believe in
Is just a feeling
So thank God for that feeling
Oh my lord I can't take no more
I get the feeling
That I am responding to a call
I am receiving and
I get that meaning
So hats off to that feeling
I could not ask for anymore

Give me one last kiss
Before I walk out of this
Give me some money
'Cos I'm right in a hurry
To get a way out of this
But I'm telling you this
That I don't aim to miss
To get a way out of this...
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Let me tell you this
Before I walk out of this
Some say it's sunny but
I don't think that's funny
And I'm telling you this
'Cos I don't aim to miss
To get a way out of this...
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Bid me one last wish
Before I walk out of this
Give me the hammer to shatter the dream
To get a way out of this...

Everyday there's always...
Much to pay the law says...
I owe you - you owe me
I know you can stand on your
Own two feet
On this street for knowledge
You must eat your porridge
I'll feed you - you'll feed me
I'll see you stand on your
Own two feet
On the farm
Linking you arm in arm
There's no harm in
Greasing your neighbour's palm

All this world seems bent upon
Contemplating Babylon
Fate is sealed inside a bomb
Where has all the freedom gone
There's a place for everyone
Live and die our Kingdom Come
But until the web is spun
Everybody must have fun
I'm not scared to die - God help me
We went to the same schools and we
All learned the same rules of lament
The knot will never come undone
Accidents show mercy none
There's isn't anywhere to run
The masterpiece is done
The war has won

No you can't throw failure over your shoulder
If you don't look after - you gonna look back
No you can't hurry forward...it's holding you back
In the grip of an onset you run for a cover
To hide from your Mother and your sister
Your brother...through you long to tell of
The stone that remains - you can't move a
Muscle - you're wrapped up in chains...so you
Wait in your room - bound to the doom
To talk with the skeleton in the closet...
So you waited for days and you walked
In the maze and you lay on your bed
With your head in a daze and high in
A corner in a cupboard on a shelf
You turn a corner and walk into yourself
And you check your condition and your
Shape and your health...
So you open the door with a look
On your face, your hands in your
pockets and your family to face
And you go downstairs and you sit in
Your place...

Tell me where I'm going...
Tell me where I'm bound...
Turn the pages over
Turn the world around
Open up the broken door for all lost will be found
Walk into the empty room but never make a sound
Oh tell me where I'm going
Tell me why I'm bound to tear the pages open
Turn the world around...
I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed
The past - it never says it
It never makes a sound
Whispered ways were chosen
Echoes will be found
Mirrors that were broken
Lay there on the ground
Though the way lies open
Will the way be found
Oh tell me where I'm going and
Tell me why I'm bound to tear the pages open
Turn the world around...
So the story goes it
Everybody knows it
Look into the past
We can't live without it
We can't live within it
Everything must pass
The change is cast...
I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed

Wild eyes realise this eager dream to prophesise
Everybody’s got a dream show them what you mean
Dramatise underline the route to perfect paradise
And with a missionary zeal you will make it real
The time has come to kneel
Take me, take me, take me by the hand I cannot see
Shake me, shake me, shake me wake me up and set me free
Tired eyes don’t despise I give you all I idolise
I’ll show you everything you've seen
Can’t promise happiness you see
To me it’s all a dream

Well I got woke up this morning
by a chimney singing crow
well who came to tell me that
I've got no-place to go
Well I closed up my suitcase and
I came tumblin down the lane
I'm Jack-n-the-Box by name
a 'bobbin knock-me-down a-gain
Well I went fixin' on upon a
word o' life savin' drug
well I've skinned and fell at the bottom of
one long faith called love
well I paid what it cost me
all it got me was good pain
I'm Jack n' the Box by name
a 'bobbin Knock Me Down Again
