Move yourselfYou always live your lifeNever thinking of the futureProve yourselfYou are the move you makeTake your chances, win or loserSee yourselfYou are the steps you takeYou and you, and that’s the only wayShake, shake yourselfYou’re every move you makeSo the story goes
You, lose yourselfNo not for pity’s sakeThere’s no real reason to be lonelyBe yourselfGive your free will a chanceYou’ve got to want to succeed
After my own indecisionThey confused me soMy love said never question your will at allIn the end you’ve got to goLook before you leapAnd don’t you hesitate at all, no no
Sooner or later each conclusionWill decide the lonely heartIt will excite, it will delightIt will give a better start
Don’t deceive your free will at all
This life’s not for livingIt’s for fighting and for warNo matter what the truth isHold on to what is yours
Hold onHold onWait maybe the answer’sLooking for you
Hold onHold onWait! Take you timeThink it throughYes! I can make it through
It’s a constant fightYou’re pushing the needle to the redBlack and whiteWho knows who’s rightNo substitute you’re born you’re deadFly by nightCreated out of fantasyOur destinations call
You can mend the wiresYou can feed the soul apartYou can touch your lifeYou can bring your soul aliveIt can happen to youIt can happen to meIt can happen to everyone eventually
As you happen to sayIt can happen todayAs it happensIt happens in every way
I’m moving through some changesI’ll never be the sameSomething you did touched meThere’s no one else to blame
Change changing placesRoot yourself to the groundCapitalize on this good fortuneOne word can bring you roundChanges
One road to lonelinessIt’s always the sameOne road to happinessIt’s calling your name
Be ready now - Be ye circleBe the central force ye lifeAs the game extends the cycleBe ready to move
One heart’s for love One’s for giving Two hearts are betterThan one I hearing itI living itI believe in itTwo hearts are betterThan one
I turn my back to the windTo catch my breathBefore I start off againDriven onWithout a moment to spendTo pass an eveningWith a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thinI’d like to pause,No matter what I pretendLike some pilgrimWho learns to transcendLearns to liveAs if each step was the end
Time stand stillI’m not looking backBut I want to look around me nowTime stands stillSee more of the peopleAnd the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Freeze this momentA little bit longerMake each sensationA little bit stronger
Experience slips awayExperience slips away
Time stands still
I turn my face to the sunClose my eyesLet my defenses downAll those woundsThat I can’t get unwound
I let my past go too fastNo time to pauseIf I could slow it all downLike some captainWhose ship runs agroundI can wait until the tide comes around
Time stand stillI’m not looking backBut I want to look around me nowTime stands stillSee more of the peopleAnd the places that surround me now
Freeze this momentA little bit longerMake each sensationA little bit stronger
Make each impressionA little bit strongerFreeze this motionA little bit longer
The innocence slips awayThe innocence slips away
Time stands stillTime stands still
I’m not looking backBut I want to look around me nowSee more of the peopleAnd the places that surround me now
Time stands still
Summer’s going fastNights growing colderChildren growing upOld friends growing older
Freeze this momentA little bit longerMake each sensationA little bit stronger
Experience slips awayExperience slips awayThe innocence slips away
Well, I guess we all have these feelingsWe can’t leave unreconciledSome of them burned on our ceilingsSome of them learned as a childThe things that we’re concealingWill never let us growTime will do its healingYou’ve got to let it go
Closed for my protectionOpen to your scornBetween these two directionsMy heart is sometimes torn
I lie awake with my secretsSpinning ’round my headSomething that somehow escaped meSomething you shouldn’t have said
I was looking out the windowI should have looked at your face instead
I know you’re differentYou know I’m the sameWe’re both too busyTo be taking the blame
I’d like some changesBut you don’t have the timeWe can’t go on thinkingIt’s a victimless crime.
No one is blamelessBut we’re all without shame
We fight the fireWhile we’re feeding the flames
Today is differentAnd tomorrow the sameIt’s hard to take the worldThe way that it came
Too many rapidsKeep us sweeping alongToo many captainsKeep on steering us wrong
It’s hard to take the heatIt’s hard to lay blameTo fight the fireWhile we’re feeding the flames
From the point of conceptionTo the moment of truthAt the point of surrenderTo the burden of proof
From the point of ignitionTo the final driveThe point of the journeyIs not to arriveAnything can happen
Basic temperamentalFilters on our eyesAlter our perceptionsLenses polarize
Alternating currentsForce a show of handsRational responsesForce a change of plansAnything can happen
From a point on the compassTo magnetic northThe point of the needleMoving back and forth
From the point of entryUntil the candle is burnedThe point of departureIs not to returnAnything can happen
I set the wheels in motionTurn up all the machinesActivate the programsAnd run behind the scene
I set the clouds in motionTurn up light and soundActivate the windowAnd watch the world go round
Anything can happen
Hold your fireKeep it burning brightHold the flame’Til the dream ignitesA spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission
Spirits fly on dangerous missionsImaginations on fireFocused high on soaring ambitionsConsumed in a single desire
In the grip ofA nameless possessionA slave to the drive of obsessionA spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission
But dreams don’t needTo have motionTo keep their spark aliveObsession has to have actionPride turns on the drive
It’s cold comfortTo the ones without itTo know how they struggledHow they suffered about it
If their lives wereExotic and strangeThey would likely haveGladly exchanged themFor something a little more plainMaybe something a little more sane
We each pay a fabulous priceFor our visions of paradiseBut a spirit with a visionIs a dream with a mission
It’s getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paperSomething’s gonna give under this pressureAnd the cracks are already beginning to showIt’s too lateThe weekend career girl never boarded the planeThey said this could never happen againSo wrong, so wrong
On the outskirts of nowhereOn the ring road to somewhereOn the verge of indecisionI’ll always take the roundabout wayWaiting on the rainFor I was born with a habit, from a signThe habit of a windswept thumbAnd the sign of the rain
Wide boys, wide boys, wide boysBorn with hearts of LothianWide boys, wide boysBorn with hearts of LothianWide boys, we were wide boysBorn with hearts of LothianThese hearts of Lothian
It’s 6 o’clock in the tower blocksThe stalagmites of culture shockAnd the trippers of the light fantastic, bow down, hoe downSpray their pheromones on this perfume uniform
And anarchy smiles in the royal mileAnd we’re waiting on the fly boys, sly boys, wide boysRooting, tooting cowboysLucky little ladies at the watering holesThey’ll score the Friday night goals
I was born with a heart of Lothian
Last night you said I was cold, untouchableA lonely piece of action from another townI just want to be free, I’m happy to be lonelyCan’t you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughtsJust a runawayJust a runawayI’m saving myself
Some of us go down in a blaze of obscuritySome of us go down in a haze of publicityThe price of infamyThe edge of insanity
Wasted, I’ve never been so wastedI’ve never been this far out beforePerimeter walkThere’s a presence hereI feel could have been ancientCould have been mystical
There’s a presenceChildhood, my childhoodChildhoodA misplaced childhoodMy childhood, a misplaced childhood
Give it back to me, give it back to meA childhood, that childhoodThat childhood, that childhoodThat childhoodOh, please give it back to me
And it was morning.And I found myself mourning,for a childhood that I thought had disappeared.I looked out the window,And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had goneI’m not alone, I turned to the mirror,I saw you, the child, that once loved.The child before they broke his heart,Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost.Hey you, surprised? More than surprised,To find the answers to the questions,Were always in your own eyes.Do you realize that you give it on back to her?But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew,So untrue.For she’s got to carry on with her life,and you’ve got to carry on with yours.So I see it’s me, I can do anythingAnd still the child,Cause the only thing misplaced was directionAnd I found direction.There is no Childhood’s End.There is no Childhood’s End.Cause’ you are my childhood friend.Cause’ you are my childhood friend.Oh lead me on.Hey you, you’ve survived.Now you’ve arrived,To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie.Now you realize, that you’ve got to get out of here.You’ve found the leading light of destiny,Burning in the ashes of your memory.You want to change the world.You’d resigned yourself to die a broken rebel,But that was looking backward.Now you’ve found the light.You, the child that once loved,The child before they broke his heart.The heart, the heart that I believed was lostSo it’s me I see, I can do anything.I’m still the child.Cause the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction.There is no childhood’s end.
