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 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 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 gave for all mankind

Sail away on an ocean wave

I am the sailer - 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

There She Goes

There She Goes

There She Goes

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 se 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 that 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 away out of his

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

I'll get away out of this

'Cos I don't aim to miss

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 away 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 the street for knowledge

You must eat your porridge

I'll feed you - you'll feed me

I'll see you can 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

I believe the day will come

To understand where you come from

I'm not scared to die - God help me

We went to the same school and we

All learnt the same rules of lament

The knot will never come undone

Accidents show mercy none

There 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're 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... though you long to tell of

The stone that remains - you can't move a

Muscle - you're wrapped 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
