HERE, I CAN HEAR A PIN DROP, SILENCE IS MY FRIEND
HAVE NOT FOUND A HELPING HAND
AND I, I CAN PAINT IN GLOOMY COLORS THAT
WILL STAIN
BUT WILL ONE OF THEM REMAIN
[PRE-CHORUS]
WE ARE SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWERS
ALWAYS TAKE A BEARING ON
WERE
DANCING ROUND THE GOLDEN CALF UNTIL THE CRACK OF DAWN
[CHORUS]
THE LIMELIGHTS FADE AWAY
ON THIS REVOLTING STAGE OF OUR
DREAMS
WERE JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE THE SCENE
THOUGH WERE STILL IN BETWEEN
ON THE CHESSBOARD SQUARE OF LIFE, THE PAWN
SO TELL ME
WHERE THE ROAD GOES ON
I, ILL BE WAITING FOR A LONG DECISIVE TURN
WHEN REMOTENESS MAKES ME YEARN
AND I, IM CLUTCHING AT A
STRAW, IM LEFT OUT IN THE COLD
AINT THERE NO ONE TO UPHOLD
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
ITS MY TINGE OF BLUE
ITS MY
SUPERSTITION THAT BLOCKS MY MACHINE
A SLIP OF THE MEMORY IS LESS WHAT WE FEEL
WITH SENSES SO KEEN
ITS STRIKING MY EYE
IT IS
THE BALANCING-POLE IN MY HAND
HAVE TRUST IN THE THIN ROPE THATS UNDER YOUR FEET
AND YOULL UNDERSTAND
WHEN PUSHED TO THE
WALL
I WILL STAND FIRM AND FOLLOW MY WAY
CAUSE IM PRESSED FOR TIME AND I KEEP AN EYE ON
BEFORE I WILL STAY
SHROUDED IN
DARKNESS
MY HEART IS TIRED IM RACKING MY BRAIN
AND WITH THE CRACK OF A WHIP I BREAK OUT
AND BREAK THE CHAIN
NOW, PULL ALL
THE STOPS YOU CAN
HOLD ON TO YOUR MASTER PLAN
THIS PEAL OF THUNDER WILL ROAR
FIND ALL THE ANSWERS WHEREFORE
ONE PIOUS WISH
UNDER THE MOON
ONLY A FAIR WIND TO HEAVE THE BALLOON
WHEN ALL SEEMS IN VAIN AND BYGONE
THEN THE ROAD GOES ON
