Try anything once

There's a voice on the phone

Who just called in to say

"Mr. Jones isn't home

He'll be gone for the day"



So he pulls down the blind

To adjust his disguise

But it's all in his mind

Which he proudly denies



I turn the boat back from the weir

Where to go from here

I can't hide from each face I see

Looking out from behind them is me



I'm attempting to guess

What they meant when they said

"Mr. Jones and his guest

Won't be using the bed"



So if I take the rap

While they stay out of sight

I can spring from the trap

When the timing is right



One minute I think I know what I mean

The next I hear voices inside disagree

Why are they laughing at me?



So I pick up the phone

Someone's asking of me

Is the real Mister Jones

Mister One, Two or Three?



So I say that they're not

But it's not as I say

'Cos they're all that I've got

And I can't get away



As Alice waves us through the glass

Are we home at last

For tomorrow they'll be here you see

Locked away safe inside there with me



'Cos tomorrow they'll be here you'll see

Locked away safe inside they're with me



One minute I think I know what I mean

The next I hear voices inside disagree

Why are they laughing at me?

It's no good believing in somebody else

If you can't believe in yourself

You give them the reason to take all the power and wealth

It's no good you trying to sit on the fence

And hope that the trouble will pass

'Cause sitting on fenses can make you a pain in the ass



If there's something you find to believe in

Then the message must get through

So don't just sit in silence

When you know what to do



Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder

Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder



There's no conversation if nobody speaks

And nothing gets done in the end

There's no confrontation when fantasy makes you its friend

So much injustice, too many lies

We don't have to look very far

But nothing will change if we leave things the way that they are



If there's something you find to believe in

Then the message must get through

So don't just sit in silence

When you know what to do



Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder

Turn it up. Turn it up, make it louder

You can take me up, you can wind me down

There's no escape, but I'll never drown

No wires or strings, No rough and smooth

Just fire and stings, Watch me closely, Watch my every move



I can count your money while I check your hand

And you know I just can't lose



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, There's nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air



I can break these chains, While I'm upside down

Well it may seem strange, I don't hit the ground

Now you see my hand, Is quicker than your eye

You should know by now, What you see here, all of it's a lie



I can count your money while I check your hand

And you know I just can't lose



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Think of a number, I'll get it right

Throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight



I can wind you up, I can turn you round

No cunning stunts, till the lady's found

No coils or springs, Just nice and smooth

No Knaves or Kings, Find the lady, Watch my every move



I can count your money while I check your hand

And you know I just can't lose



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, No, nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Think of a number, I'll get it right

You can throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, There's nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air

Stealing a moment from Mr. Time

He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime

But it's all for show, all for show.

Wearing your name and a number or two

When the minute's up, so are you

But everybody knows, everybody knows.



Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,

He waits for your soul to come in from the sky

But it's lost below, lost below.

Turning the Wheel of your destiny round,

When the motion stops - no more sound,

Does anybody care, anybody care.



Where's the man, where's the child

Wrapped together side by side.

Who can tell you what to do,

When Mr. Time has come for you.

See the truth, hear the lies,

Can there be no compromise

And who can tell you what they knew,

When Mr. Time has come for you.



Is it a feeling of deja vu?

When he points his finger calling you

Is it illusion?  Just an illusion

Picking up seconds that fall to his feet

He blows them away as rocks on his seat,

Cool as his smile, his smile.



Where's the man, where's the child

Wrapped together side by side.

Who can tell you what to do, 

When Mr. Time has come for you

See the truth, hear the lies,

Can there be no compromise

And who can tell you what they knew,

When Mr. Time has come for you.

Somehow you fell out of time

Boy you lost your place in line

But don't even try

To drag me down too

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you



One star rises, one falls from the sky

You're still hiding the way you feel inside

One word closer to things we need to say

One cut deeper to tear the past away



You think I don't know your mind

But I know fools don't change with time

Until the warning signs

Come out of the blue

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you



One light's burning - another fades away

Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames

One step closer, the door is open wide

Come tomorrow we'll see the other side



On and on until we change

Everything remains the same

On and on until we learn

On and on the wheels will turn...



Wounded words and eyes that lie

You won't let your demons die

Take a look inside

Or you're gonna lose

I'm talkin' to you, I'm talkin' to you



I'm talkin' to you

Whatever you do, the last laugh's on you



On and on until we change

Everything remains the same

On and on until we learn

On and on the wheels will turn...



Somehow you fell out of time

Boy you lost your place in line...

One star rises one star falls

Do you even care at all? ... this time



I'm talkin' to you

I'm talkin' to you

Days go by

Adrift upon a rolling sky

The miracles escape my eyes

But I still hope



Time, regret

Is this as good as life can get?

It's only when the spirit sets me free I cope



If I seek in every corner

If I search in every doorway

When the water turns to wine will I believe?

If I navigate the river

Would you take me to your island?

Sing a Siren song so I can never leave



Long and wide

Eternity from side to side

Lead me through the rapids

Guide me to the shore



There's a place

That's far beyond this time and space

When each of us comes face to face with something more



If I open up the channel

Will you send me information

If you tune me to your station, I'll receive

If I navigate the river

Would you take me to your island

Sing a Siren song so I can never leave



Plans can fail

But only fail to understand

The Pyramid will turn to sand and I'll be here

...I will be here

Stand up, and with your hand on the Bible

Tell the truth to one and all

'Cause you know that feeling

When you've got your back against the wall.



My God, it's only Tuesday tomorrow

And "Loved One's" gone and blown it all

Now you've got no money and you feel your back against the wall.



Well, if you talk to your brothers and they don't give a damn

And you look like you're gonna fall

You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.



Some Tripper's got you right in a corner

And you feel you're gonna lose it all

Now you don't want trouble but you feel your back's against the wall.



So the guy moves forward but you hold him away

Shit there's no one there to hear you call

So you take your chances and you push him back against the wall.



Now the guy's in the gutter and you don't give a damn

And he looks kind of weak and small

'Cause you called his number when you felt your back against the wall.



Stand up, and with your hand on the Bible

Tell the truth to one and all

'Cause you know that feeling

When you've got your back against the wall.



Well, if you talk to your brothers and they don't give a damn

And you look like you're gonna fall

You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.

Waves roll out

Out to sea

Tasting the saltwater

Tears upon her cheek



Morning breaks

She's not there

Who could ever find her?

Who would even care?



No one heard

No one came

No angel of mercy

Appears to know her name



Where is hope

When words fail

All the colours running

Inside when life turns pale



In the dock the boats are harboured

Where the water's cold and still

Oh life, she cries, I've lost the will



>From the bridge she sees a lifetime

Being washed upon the shore

Oh life, she cries

There must be more...



Tides roll in

Waters rise

Any chance of reason

Only clouds her eyes



Arms of grace

She won't feel

All the wounds inside her

That time can never heal



The city lights shine seaward

Swirling in a trance

Her eyes upon the water

Alone in her last dance



>From the docks the boats are leaving

As she cries into the dawn

"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"



And she sees her future falling

Til it finds the ocean floor

Oh life, she cries

There must be more



There must be more



And with the early light

She'll sail into the clear

The winds are all behind her

The hour's almost here



>From the bridge she hears the voices

Turn into a roar

Oh life she cries

There must be more



On the dock her soul is sinking

But her spirit longs to soar

Oh life, she cries

There must be more



There must be more

There must be more

Oh life I'm barely holding on



There must be more

There must be more

Oh life there must be something more
