I ve seen the line i tried to understand A hidden road, a secret plan My clock says 4 am and i cant see The way infront, the golden key At night we fall into our loving arms The time is now, we do no harm A door is closed, another gate is shut We re almost here, but then we re not I ve got a ticket straight to your mind I ve got no reason to turn Cut all connections call me sometime I ve got a lesson to learn You ve got a ticket straight to my mind You ve got no reason to turn I hear that scene is just not your kind You ve got a lesson to learn I had a dream about an unknown land I fear that place, i just cant stand The way they talk to me and now i know Why i am here and where to go Cars are flashing down the road of time I carry on, you re right behind A bag of memories, an empty heart The game is lost, we drift apart Excuse me, what was it again you said? A word so wise, a look so sad We re in a movie and we know our part we know it well, right from the start When everything is done i walk away Back where i was some other day You are no longer my guiding light The fog has come - you re out of sight I ve got a ticket straight to your mind I ve got no reason to turn Cut all connections call me sometime I ve got a lesson to learn You ve got a ticket straight to my mind You ve got no reason to turn I hear that scene is just not your kind You ve got a lesson to learn

Everything you want to know And everything you want, just take it Just like a snooty pop star Driving in a sports car Everywhere you want to go When everything is too complicated I’ll be there by your side Dapper in a fancy style Let the words fade away-ay Fill the vacuum of my heart Everything is saturated When the rain falls and you’re around Let the words sail away-ay Come and break into my heart Everyone is outdated When the rain falls and you’re around When you’re around Every time that you’re around All the things you used to know And all the things you want are fading Just like a snooty pop star Crashing in a sports car Everywhere you want to go When life becomes too complicated I’ll be there by your side Lock me up in your arms

Hey, People at war That’s what I’m talking about I’m sure you’ve heard it before Hey, I know it’s naïve But you’ve gotta have hope Yeah you gotta believe Hey, Someday we can live in peace Tend our gardens Be able to sleep Hey, Someday we can live in peace Tend our gardens Be able to sleep A band of people making music Really gives me hope That we can do something together Besides hunting like a pack of wolves A band of people making music Really gives me hope That we can do something together Besides hunting like a pack of wolves Hey, People at war (x 5) Hey, People at war That’s what I’m talking about I’m sure you’ve heard it before I know it’s naïve But you’ve gotta have hope Yeah you gotta believe Someday we can live in peace Tend our gardens Be able to sleep Someday we can live in peace Tend our gardens Be able to sleep Someday we can live in peace (x 4)

Money Before 05:18
Encore He was the man who gave the money before He's always making that mistake more and more He was the man who paid before Therefore In every given day someone to implore For he has none but himself to deplore He was the man who paid before Eyesore Humiliation is so hard to ignore his resignation makes him bad to the core He was the man who paid before Hey, what are you looking for You're the man who paid before I know you wickedly adore You're the man who paid before Hey, you've nothing to restore You're the man who paid before I know what are you waiting for You're the man who paid before

A whole new world right before my eyes Floating in the clouds Floating in the sky Pounding music, Dancing and laughing People having fun, I never seen it before Not like where I came from It was nothing like, where I came from The fog, it was rolling off the bay The city was shining Floating in the sky The fog, it was rolling off the bay The city was shining Floating in the sky People having fun It was the damnedest thing Smiling at each other Like they weren’t afraid A whole new world right before my eyes Floating in the clouds Floating in the sky Pounding music, Dancing and laughing People having fun, I never seen it before Not like where I came from Where I came from It was nothing like, where I came from It was nothing like, where I came from The fog, it was rolling off the bay The city was shining Floating in the sky The fog, it was rolling off the bay The city was shining Floating in the sky
