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 |

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 |

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 |
