The Masterplan

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
She's a headshrinker now
And i think its time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And i'm out of here
I got no name
And i feel no shame
And i got no fear
And i bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And i'm out of here
I got no name
And i feel no shame
And i got no fear
And i bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

Hate the way that you've taken back
Eveything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say
'it's nothing to do with me'
Different versions of many men
Come before you came
All their questions were similar
The answers just the same

I'm gonna get me a motor car
Maybe a jaguar
Maybe a plane or day of fame
I'm gonna be a millionaire
So can you take me there?
Wanna be wilde 'cos my life's so tame

Here am i, going nowhere on a train
Here am i, growing older in the rain
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey

Wanna be wilde 'cos my life's so tame

Here am i, going nowhere on a train
Here am i, growing older in the rain
Here am i, going nowhere on a train
Here am i, getting lost and lonely
Sad and only, why sometimes does my life feel so tame?
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that i
Won't ever make you cry
And this i'll say
I don't know why
I know i'm leavin'
But i'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'bout how you saved my life
(you saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(i wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)
'bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)

'bout how you saved my life
(i wanna talk tonight)

I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight

What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If i had more time

Sailing down the river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But i don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But i don't mind being on my own
No, i don't mind being on my own

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If i had more time

Sailing down the river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But i don't believe in magic
Life is automatic but i don't mind being on my own
No i don't mind being on my own
No i don't mind being on my own
I said that i don't mind being on my own

Sailing down the river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But i don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But i don't mind being on my own
I said that i don't mind being on my own
No, i don't mind being on my own
I said that i don't mind being on my own
No, i don't mind being on my own
I said that i don't mind being on my own

I'm older than i wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life i try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down i think you're rude
All my life i try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

I'm older than i wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life i try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down i think you're rude
All my life i try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know --
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterpla

Underneath the sky of red
There's a story-teller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
And his where abouts is sort of unknown

All he needs is his life in a suitcase
It belongs to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

So wish me away to an unknown place
And i'm livin in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with a brand new harp
Stop me making sense once again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again
Again
Again
Again
Underneath the sky again
