Did you hear me, did anything change?
We did continue and further strange
And follow the crowd
To go down the pan
Then pray for the time when it all begin
Do we listen while the going is good?
We find ways and means but not those we should
A self-given right
The head held high
In the face of reason we fly
We all lost our bearings
Never suit the action to the word and smile
And think we are immortal
But only we are rank and file
Time, time and again
Appallingly high
We hang on you out to dry
Why, we're holding on?
Only to find
He is the last of his kind
The alienation, a devious way
No cause for alarm cause later we pay
We choose and we change
Cash in on the wild
We go round in circles, perfectly styled
We believe we get off lightly
And refuse we're riding for a fall
But our days are numbered
How on earth we missed the final call
Time, time and again
Appallingly high
We hang on you out to dry
Why, we're holding on?
Only to find
He is the last of his kind
We've forgone the chance
Moving on in trance
Holier than thou
We want it now
We need it
To feed it
Cause it is money for old rope
We are here undying
Or at least believe
Creation's crowning glory us
We still deceive
A pearl of great price
We came to melt the ice
Into a vale of tears
Where the ghost-ship steers
We need it
To feed it
Cause it is money for old rope
We are here undying
Or at least believe
Creation's crowning glory us
We still deceive
Time, time and again
Appallingly high
We hang on you out to dry
Why, we're holding on?
Only to find
He is the last of his kind
Time, time and again
Appallingly high
We hang on you out to dry
Why, we're holding on?
Only to find
He is the last of his kind
We put off the evil hour
Remain in our ivory tower
We were thrown out of gear
And still live in abject fear
Facing the music one day
To our dismay
We are the stowaway
On the ship of fools aside the bay
Not aware we are up the creek
We blot out what is unique
Perception of reality
The moment you see me
Oasis of light
A planet of grace
Where powers unite
Will be our place
