One day I'm up next day I'm down,
I run from dusk to dawn.
The paranoia seizes me
The nightmares carry on.

I'm looking on the bright side
You're looking on the wrong side
You really don't know which side
A devious dream in my mind.

But there is no way out and yes
The dye is casting thin
Between the line and razor edge
They crystalise the end.

I'm looking on the dark side
You're looking on the outside
You'll never know what's inside
A face to erase what you find

I know what I'm doing
I'm feeling so fine now
Sorry I worried you.
Thumbs up truly,
I'm okay I though today
I haven't had a drink for, say,
An age, and yes I'm feeling fit
A day in which I'm never sick
With both ends on the candle lit.

There is no way out and
I can never be my friend.
The enemy I fear is me,
So where does it all end...

Time on your hands
You do it all the day
Shuffle your feet
And turn on the news
To hear what they might say

They made a machine
And you found your device
They're lighting the fuse
There's no need to worry
Your world will be alright

Time for a smoke
A pint and a joke
You muddle on through
Silently screaming
"What can I do ?"

Till time trips you out
Looking about
Blows you away
High as a kite
On a windy day

You've made your decision to leave
There's no turning 'round.
Now that you've got a reprieve,
You must stand your ground.
Some of the others are weak,
So you must be strong
$155 won't last very long...

Chorus :
  Ma, will we make out,
  Do you think that this old car will last ?
  Pa, is there some doubt,
  If our bad luck will stay in the past ?

Well I'm hoping it's so,
But you can't really know til the end.
They tell me that all things must change
But they begin again.
Listen to the motor and the road
And how does it feel ?
Listen with your ears and your hands
On the steering wheel.

Chorus

Listen now boys,
What your ma has told you
There is no way we can tell...
We've got to face this road together
And have some faith
In ourselves.

Chorus

Ma,
Will we make out... ?

Have you seen the Mystic Queen
Riding in her limousine
Over hills and over dales 'til morning...

If you like I'll take you there
We'll find some colours you can wear
Colours that you've only seen while sleeping.

Have you seen the Mystic Queen

Over hills and over dales 'til morning...

If you like I'll take you there
We'll find some colours you can wear
