Eye in the Sky
Don't think 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 accusaation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your eyes Made some of the lies worth believing CHORUS I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind Iam 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 Don't leave false illusions behind Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind Soo find another fool like before 'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving CHORUS
Children of the Moon
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 None 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 inthe 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
Gemini
Watching waiting rising falling Listening calling drifting Touching feeling seeing believing Hoping sending leaving CHORUS 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 drifing away VERSE CHORUS I couldn't say why you and I are Gemini We're travelling a million worlds away I see your shadow coming closer Then watch you drifiting away
Silence and I
If I cried out loud Over sorrows I've known And the secrets I've heard It would ease my mind Someone sharing the load But I won't breathe a word CHORUS We're two of a kind Silence and I We need a chance to talk things over Two of a kind Silence and I We'll find a way to work it out When the children laughed I was always afraid Of the smile of the clown So I close my eyes Till I can't see the light And I hide from the sound CHORUS I can hear the cry Of a leaf on a tree As it falls to the ground I can hear the call Of an echoing voice And there's no one around CHORUS
You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned
Watche me closely catch my eye If you do I beg you to remind me Who is stronger who is weak of those who seek And don't know where to find me CHORUS Ask me why, I don't know You ask me why and I say Now you see me now you don't I thought by now you'd learned You're gonna get your fingers burned Watch me closely understand That what you see is only an illusion If I'm wrong and you are right Then I will light your darkness with confusion CHORUS Ask me why, I don't know You ask me why and I say Chances are you're playing with fire I thought by now you'd learned You're gonna get your fingers burned Watch me closely be aware That all I do is only to surprise you Every move is slight of hand And every word is planned to mystify you CHORUS Ask me why, I don't know You ask me why and I say Don't get fooled a second time I thought by now you'd learned You're gonna get your fingers burned
Psychobabble
Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night It ain't in Kodachrome and it isn't black and white Take me for a fool if you feel that's right Well I'm never on my own but there's nobody in sight I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning CHORUS Trying to reach me I can't turn to the left or the right I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night It's in Dolby stereo but I never hear it right Take me for a fool well that's alright Well I see the way to go but there isn't any light I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning CHORUS Trying to reach me Help me to find what I don't wanna know You're taking me there but I don't wanna go I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me Psychobabble all psychobabble Psychobabble all psychobabble I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes You say I do things that I don't realise But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me Psychobabble all psychobabble Psychobabble all psychobabble You're lighting a scene that's faded to black I threw it away cause I don't want it back But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap
Step by Step
I was just a joker in a serious game I didn't have the heart to play But sooner or later I'll find a reason to throw it away Risin' on the crest of a natural wave That never seems to break my way I'm livin' without it But I got to do something about it CHORUS Steb by step little by little Step by step take it line by line Move move move, move a little closer Step by step the deal is mine I was just a runner in a one horse race Livin' on the don't pass line Sooner or later I got to lose cause I'm wasting my time Lady Luck must have been a wonderful girl She's never been a friend of mine I'm living without her But I still got that mountain to climb CHORUS
Old and Wise
As far as my eyes can see There are shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go CHORUS And oh when I'm old and wise BItter words mean little to me Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they asked me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go CHORUS And oh, when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see
