So climb on board 'cause we're going for a ride, Finally at last, The time has come for you and I to look inside, Inside the looking glass, If what they say is true, this could be as real as anything, The world's playing a tune, and it appears, That we are the melody, I feel the wheels through my heels as we're floating along, High overhead, the wind moves the wires to song, And this train of thought, that we're riding on, Is as real as anything, It's taking us, we're on our way, Through our destiny, So climb on board 'cause we're going for a ride, Finally at last, The time has come for you and I to look inside, Inside the looking glass, If what they say is true, this could be as real as anything, The world's playing a tune, and it appears, That we are the melody, If what they say is true, this could be as real as anything, It's taking us, we're on our way, Through our destiny,

Dreams 05:04
When your dreams become reality, What are you gonna do? Hanging around with your heart beating down, Like a drum from within you, When your dreams become reality, What are you going to do? When the world keeps on changing, Which way are we going to go, Will we keep up the pace, To finish the human race once and for all, When the world keeps on changing, Which way are we going to go? When your heart is in a turmoil, Turn it all around, Where do you find the time, to rearrange your mind, Do what can be done, When your heart is in a turmoil, Turn it all around, When your dreams become reality, What are you gonna do? Hanging around with your heart beating down, Like a drum from within you, When your dreams become reality, What are you going to do?

What are you thinking in the morning, rising out of bed, See the sunrise, hear the houseflies, buzzing overhead, I really wanna know, I really wanna know, I really wanna know, woa woa woa-o-o... What are you doin' around noon, time for lunch and tea, Are you busy keeping busy, don't you get lonely, I really wanna know, I really wanna know, I really wanna know, woa woa woa-o-o... Well I've been spending my lifetime wondering, Why things are the way that they've seem, You say to me it's only natural, To be feeling like reproducin', That's the way I'm feeling, Writing songs can take so long when you've got zip to say, I want to know that simple something, that cannot be said, I really wanna know, I really wanna know, Really wanna know, woa woa woa-o-o... I really wanna know, Yeah I really wanna know, Really wanna know, woa woa woa-o-o... I really wanna know, I really wanna know, Really wanna know, woa woa woa-o-o... (etc)

Man in the moon is smiling on me, He must see that I am lonely, Man in the moon is smiling on me, And I go... It starts out when you are but a child, running free and running so wild, Fairly soon you're gently growing old, Listening to the stories being told, And they go... Man in the moon is smiling on me, He must see that I am lonely, Man in the moon is smiling on me, And I go...

American dream we are lost, though it seems, I see you floating woah, drifting out of sight, Not so many years ago you were born out of ideals, Now abandoned and forgotten in the night, But I remember when you were lost and crying for mercy, Do you have it for those that now are in your sights? And didn't you know you would become what you hated, Take a look at yourself then tell me what is right, What is right? Soldier of fortune I have seen you come and go, You've sold your soul, for the highest price, And when you wake up in the morning, With your wife and kids at home, Tell me what do they see when they look in your eyes, They remember when you were lost and crying for mercy, Do you have it for those that now are in your sights? And didn't you know you would become what you hated, Take a look at yourself then tell me what is right, What is right? Hey mister mister with the power in the palm of your hand, I don't understand what I see in your eyes, Well maybe to you we're all just pawns in your game, And you're playing chess with millions of our lives, But we remember when you were lost and crying for mercy, Do you have it for those that now are in your sights? And didn't you know you would become what you hated, Take a look at yourself then tell me what is right, What is right? In your sights... Well the right is right and the left is right and the middle is to the right of the left, and left, right, right, left, left, right, right, left...

Running with the wind, again and again, forever, Where is it that I'm running to, Running on the ground, around and around, chasing tail, Who does this tail belong to, is it my own? Jump in the car you know we're bound to go far, away from here, With one twist of the steering wheel, Mile after mile of plastic neon smiles, selling fear, I smell the scent of anxiety, under my tail, Running with the wind, again and again, forever, Where is it that I'm running to, Running on the ground, around and around, chasing tail, Who does this tail belong to, is it my own?

Hey baby take a look at my face, I'm a man with his heart in his mouth, I need somebody to come, save me from myself, You know I need it, I need it, I need it, Save me from myself, Hey baby take a look over here, I'm standing up the wall, I feel like I must be the loneliest boy of all, And I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it, Standing holding up the wall, The loneliest boy of all, Standing holding up the wall, The loneliest boy of all, It's been said that you can do no wrong, No matter how your hand turns out, The only thing that you can do wrong, Is not to play the game at all, And I believe it, I believe it, I believe it, Standing holding up the wall, Not to play the game at all, Hey baby take a look at my face, I'm a man with his heart in his mouth, I need somebody to come, save me from myself, You know I need it, I need it, I need it, Save me from myself, And I can feel it, I can feel it, I can feel it, Save me from myself, And I believe it, I believe it, I believe it, Save me from myself, And I need it, I need it, I need it, Save me from myself

Things 04:50
Gonna run around the rest of my days, My head in a smoky haze, Running round acting like a fool, So worried about being cool, Talking so quickly I’m just thinking out loud, Consequentially bringing about, Situations I’m not sure if I like them, They’re sharp as the edge of a knife, You better watch the things that you’re saying, You better watch the things that you do, Time could come that you could be paying, For everything you choose, If you can’t enjoy your five senses, Then your life it isn’t worth five cents, The way we’re living well I think it’s senseless, Doing nothing surely must be bent, Sitting silently in front of the TV set, Soon senility sets in, The man from glad says that he’s giving us a freebee, There are no shoulders only talking heads, You better watch the things that they’re saying, You better watch the things that they do, Time could come that you could be paying, For everything they choose, Round and round and round we go, Where we stop well nobody knows, Weaving worlds as we go by, On this spinning wheel, life, You better watch the things that you’re saying, You better watch the things that you do, Time could come that you could be paying, For everything you choose,
