What do you feel
When you let go of the wheel
Can you take a leap of faith
Will you face the change of pace
There are worlds out there
Beyond compare

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease

All that we've been through
Brings my soul so close to you
Why not cast your fears aside
We can laugh until we cry
There are worlds out there
Beyond compare

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease

Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease

Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease
Wonders never cease

Vacations in Europe
Sensational of sense
We made the most of
Your inheritence

Come you son of a gun
How can it be done
We're still on the run

Ten men all rolled into one (ten men, in one)
Ten men in a prodigal son
Ten men all rolled into one (ten men, in one)
Ten men in a prodigal son
Ten men transcend

We're sitting pretty
Admiring the view
Indulging in pleasures
You can't take with you

Yes I am obsessed
I must confess
Oh I need a rest

Ten men all rolled into one (ten men, in one)
Ten men in a prodigal son
Ten men all rolled into one (ten men, in one)
Ten men in a prodigal son
Ten men transcend

Life's too short this time
Life's too short this time
Life's too short this time
Life's too short this time

I need experience, like a teenager
All this exuberence, let's grow up later

I need,
Like a teenager
All this, let's grow up later

. . .



This time, you have to face your future
Although it's just a dusty road
It's clear that backing down don't suit you
I'd hate, to break your sacred code
People, along for the ride
High noon, getting closer

I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser
So you'll be fine, you won't be lonely long
I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser
So you'll be fine, you won't be lonely long

I see, you need a trial of fire
A coward would wisely walk away
Help them, help us buy your time
Hideouts get discovered

I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser
So you'll be fine, you won't be lonely long
I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser
So you'll be fine, you won't be lonely long

I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser
So you'll be fine, you won't be lonely long
I think you'll find, everybody loves a loser

When the tower tumbled
We began anew
Had no time for warning
Only déjà vu

It comes flashing back
Then just fades to black
All gone

All the land rejoices
Now the coast is clear
No more silent voices to whisper in your ear
I am in my element with a panoramic view
There's no inspiration like
A military coup

Children blowing kisses
Strangers to the truth
Carrying the wishes of a bygone youth
Bye bye cabaret
Sci-fi agony
All gone

All the land rejoices
Now the coast is clear
No more silent voices to whisper in your ear
I am in my element with a panoramic view
There's no compensation like
A military coup

A mellow melody
Rolling endlessly
How long
How long

. . .



Locked in a cage, by yourself
Downtrodden rage, Breeds poor health
Make an excuse, then duck out
It's self induced, knuckle back
Try to get off, go somewhere
Dying for love, way out there

If you want to escape this living hell
Cast off your chains and be free
If you don't believe you owe it to yourself,
You can owe it to me
Owe it to me

Wipe of the dust, Let it shine
You can adjust, given time
Ready to leave, you show up
You got a grief
Come grow up

If you want to escape this living hell
Cast off your chains and be free
If you don't believe you owe it to yourself,
You can owe it to me

If you want to escape this living hell
Cast off your chains and be free
If you don't believe you owe it to yourself,
You can owe it to me

I'm here to help, you decline
Want to rebel, by design
Cut off your nose, to spite your face
Superimpose you r disgrace

If you want to escape this living hell
Cast off your chains and be free
If you don't believe you owe it to yourself,
You can owe it to me

If you want to escape this living hell
Cast off your chains and be free
If you don't believe you owe it to yourself,
You can owe it to me

I'll find a way to lead you astray,
Just a little longer
I'll find a way to lead you astray,
Stay a little longer

I'll find a way to lead you astray,
Just a little longer
I'll find a way to lead you astray,
Stay a little longer

Yeah, you can owe it to me, you can owe it to me,
You can owe it to me, you can owe it to me, to me

. . .



Well it was '94 when I dug you up
And like the time before,
It was just bad luck
I should have knocked you out
With an upper cut
But you smothered me shut

What is with me,
And these needy folk?
As it starts out fun,
Soon becomes a joke
Before we got a laugh
We were up in smoke
It's rich going for broke
It's rich going for broke

The people carrier
Takes care of our soul
Our safety barrier
Won't let us fall

When you hit the drink,
You're a different character
And it all comes down in a twiseted mess
When you're holding court
You're a big end barrister
Desperate to impress

I see you open up
On a rare occasion
You've been dead so long
That you decompose
And you come on strong
Like a pitch invasion
And the following day the case is closed
And the following day the case is closed

The people carrier
Gets us from a to b
We're so much happier
Now we can see

I nearly broke my back
Trying to bring you happiness
I was way off track
Some crazy whore
Then I collapse
In a shabby mess
Fresh grounds for divorce
Fresh grounds for divorce

The people carrier
On top of it all
Over the safety barrier
And then we fall

A people carrier
On top of it all
Over safety barrier

. . .


I can feel a storm brewing over nothing
We were having fun
There's no harm done there
You need attention
I can see you're sulking
It's about time that you learn to share

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

I don't what happened
To those resolutions
We think we found the truth at last
When it escapes
Inside the mirror is a false impression
I can feel so swollen
When I'm in good shape

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

The heavy gangster helps himself,
Don't have time for no one else,
Brittle bones and rotten veins,
Celebrate ill gotten gains,
No time for justice,
Or sweetness and light
How does it thrust his weakness aside?
The grass is hissing to disallow
This misappropriation now

Hold up, it's day light robbery
Hold up, you're bleeding us dry
Hold up, you're making a mockery
Hold up, disorganized crime

Send them to hunt them
And bring them to trial
No room to function
With dogs running wild
Holding us hostage
And spreading your germs
Rebellious wish kids
We're ready to burn

Hold up, it's day light robbery
Hold up, you're bleeding us dry
Hold up, you're making a mockery
Hold up, disorganized crime

Kiss it goodbye

Hold up, that's day light robbery
Hold up, he's bleeding you dry
Hold up, you're making a mockery
Hold up, disorganized crime

Hold up, it's day light robbery
Hold up, you're bleeding us dry
Hold up, you're making a mockery
Hold up, disorganized crime

Kiss it goodbye

. . .



The skill it takes to create
The pill to gab a nice date
I'm thrilled to get this laid on
I've spilled my last cradle song
Oh, you won't feel insecure
for sure

I've got the medicine, to suit the mood your in
I've got the antidote here
My friend will let us in, no matter where we've been
I've got the antidote here

Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now
Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now

You've served your country so well
Usurped by their own personnel
On that, on that bombshell
Pray tell

I've got the medicine, to suit the mood your in
I've got the antidote here
My friend will let us in, no matter where we've been
I've got the antidote here

Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now
Go get a hit, eternal licks yeah
We'll fix a mixture now

Go get a hit eternal licks yeah
Go get a hit
Go get a hit lets fix a mixture
Go get a hit
Go get a hit eternal licks
Go get a hit
Go get a hit lets fix a mixture

. . .



Questions are never answered
Glances you'll always miss
Too ready to push and pamper
You just took the glory
You thought you stole my thunder
I had to snatch it back
You failed to take me under
I hit the bottom and bounced right back
Oh what can happen now
I won't cave in,
My heart will open out
With love

Caught in a struggle
Goodness, I've tried
You're such a puzzle
I guess, God bless and goodbye

This aint a proposition
Can you clear out your desk
Someone in my position
I'd rather take a risk
Oh what can happen now?
I won't cave in
My heart will open out,
With love

Caught in a struggle
Goodness, I've tried
You're such a puzzle
I guess, God bless and goodbye

In a struggle
Goodness, I've tried
You're such a puzzle
I guess, God bless and goodbye

Caught in a struggle
Goodness, I've tried
You're such a puzzle
I guess, God bless and goodbye

In a struggle
Goodness, I've tried
You're such a puzzle
I guess, God bless and goodbye

I guess, God bless and goodbye
I guess, God bless and goodbye
