David Gilmour

There's no way out of here

When you come in 

You're in for good

There was no promise made

The part you played

The chance you took



There are no boundaries set

The time and yet

You waste it still

So it slips through your hands

Like grains of sand 

You watch it go



There's no time to be lost

You'll pay the cost

So get it right

There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good



There never was there an answer

There an answer

Not without listening

Without seeing



There are no answers here

When you look out

You don't see in

There was no promise made

The part you played

The chance you took



There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good



There never was there an answer

There an answer

Not without listening

Without seeing



There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good

There was no promise made

The part you played

The chance you took



There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good

There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good

There are no answers here

When you look out

You don't see in

There's no way out of here

When you come in

You're in for good

Black shadows dance

Beyond the neon glow

There's rumors in your head

And just one way to go

Oh so tight

It makes your blood run cold

The way is blind 

Try to save your soul

Don't even pray

Just cry from the street



It's fine as you leave

The one they keep at home

So you love someone

That you thought you owed

You know it's a crime

But what can you do?

That's the price you pay

With each turn of the screw 

But don't pay no mind

Just cry from the street



You really love the night

Even though you're alone 

It's such a cryin' shame 

That things are so wrong 

It's the sign of the scream 

That it blinds your feet

I guess the chance is ours

You wish to stay and sleep

But don't even pray

Just cry from the street

What am I suspended here?

Should I kid myself that I have no fear?

I get no choice, I just have to wait

It may already be too late

I don't know what's going on

She is here, but I am gone

I am gone



My love is lying here

She's far away though she looks so near

"Time will tell" she says to me

When a warm coat is all I need

Her peace of mind, her strentgh of will

It will come she's sure it will

And how can I put my mind at rest?

I feel I'm coming up second best



And I'm caught with my own life

Is this a dream, or is it real life?

Oooh sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room



Look at that hand lying there

The room is dark she shows no fear

I'm lying still, my eyes are wide

My heart is pumping, I'm still alive

I'm still awake against my will

What will it ever take 

To still this burning in me?



And I'm caught with my own life

Is this a dream, or is it real life?

Ooooh, sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room

Sleep, come on me soon

I can't bear this lonely room

Sleep, don't take too long

Can't keep singing this lonely song

You ask

What is the quality 

Of life?

Seeking to justify the part you play

And hide

Fearing it incomplete 

To try

To make it any more or less than short and 

sweet

But short

Short is from you to me

As close

As we are wont to try to make it be

We're caught

Watching the dark in the sky

Who knows?

Helpless it's time and self to hold the time of day



And you

You are a fantasy

A view

From where you'd like to think the world should 

see

Be true

And you will likely find

A few

Building a vision new and justice to our time



And we

We the immoral men

We dare

Naked and fearless in the elements

And free

Carefree of tempting fate

Aware

And holding off the moral nightmare at the 

gates



And sweet

Sweet as a mountain stream

We'll look

Toward a new day breaking in the east

And meet

As every future dream

Unfolds

And surely quality that is the very least

There's no way

I'm gonna let go

There's no way

Because it's my show

I'm hangin' on

For a little while

I won't go down easy

That's not my style



I'm all tied up

Tied up in a knot

And I can't decide

Just what it is I've got

Did I get out of touch

Did I lose my way

I've not forgot

No, not a single day



Now you might believe

I'm not a happy man

Putting myself apart

From the common clan

What a boat we're sailing

We had a week or two

But I know it sounds

Like me and you



So there's no way

I'm gonna let go

There's no way

Because it's my show

I'm hangin' on

For a little while

I won't go down easy

That's not my style

I can't breathe anymore

Why that is I'm not sure

I've got my feet on the ground

In fact I'm flat on the floor

My direction is lost

I should pause to take stock

It's a new one on me

To even dream that you're free



It's a tale without an end

But the end is there for all to see

And if the end weren't so real

Coming around and 'round again on me

I guess it's all about my pride

I want to be there if it kills

But with or without God on my side

I know that I really will
