    1. ( The System Of ) Doctor Tarr And Professor Feather

      Just what you need to make you feel better
      Just what you need to make you feel
      Just what you need to make you feel better
      Just what you need to make you feel

      At the far end of your tether
      And your thoughts won't fit together
      So you sleep light or whatever
      And the night goes on forever
      The your mind change like the weather
      Your in need of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

      Even clouds seem bright and breezy
      'Cause the livin' is free and easy
      See the rat race in a new way
      Like you're walkin' up to a new day
      It's a wise thing if you're clever
      Take a lead from Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

      Find the end of the rainbow
      Fly wherever the winds blow
      Laugh at life like a sideshow
      Just what you need to make you feel better

      Satisfaction altogether
      Guaranteed by Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

      Find the end of the rainbow
      Fly wherever the winds blow
      Laugh at life like a sideshow
      Just what you need to make you feel better

      Don't stop bringin' the girls round
      Don't start havin' a showdown
      Keep on handin' the jug round
      All that you need is wine and good company

    2. The Raven

      The clock struck midnight
      And through my sleeping
      I heard a tapping at my door
      I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
      And so I turned inside once more

      To my amazement
      There stood a raven
      Whose shadow hung above my door
      Then through the darkness
      It spoke that one word
      that I shall hear forever more

      Nevermore
      Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

      And still the raven remains in my room
      No matter how much I implore
      No words can soothe him
      No prayer remove him
      And I must hear for evermore

      Quoth the raven, nevermore
      Thus quoth the raven
      Nevermore

    3. I Robot

      ( instrumental )

    4. I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You

      If I had a mind to
      I wouldn't want to think like you
      And if I had time to
      I wouldn't want to talk to you

      I don't care
      What you do
      I wouldn't want to be like you

      If I was high class
      I wouldn't need a buck to pass
      And if I was a fall guy
      I wouldn't need no alibi

      I don't care
      What you do
      I wouldn't want to be like you

      Back on the bottom line
      Diggin' for a lousy dime
      If I hit a mother lode
      I'd cover anything that showed

      I don't care
      What you do
      I wouldn't want to be like you

    5. Breakdown

      I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
      No one can understand a word that I say
      When I break down just a little and lose my head
      Nothing I try to do can work the same way

      Any time it happened I'd get over it
      With a little help from all my friends
      Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
      But they walk away and just pretend

      When I breakdown

      I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
      No one can understand a word that I say
      When I break down just a little and lose my head
      Nothing I try to do can work the same way

      Where are all the friends who used to talk to me
      All they ever told me was good news
      People that I've never seen are kind to me
      Is it any wonder I'm confused

      When I break down, when I break down

      Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
      Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
      Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
      Freedom, freedom, take them all away

    6. Don't Let It Show

      If it's getting harder to face every day
      Don't let it show, don't let it show
      Though it's getting harder to take what they say
      Just let it go, just let it go

      And if it hurts when they mention my name
      Say you don't know me
      And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
      Say you don't own me

      Even if it's taking the easy way out
      Keep it inside of you
      Don't give in
      Don't tell them anything
      Don't let it
      Don't let it show

      Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
      Say you don't care, say you don't care
      Even if you want to believe there's a way
      I won't be there, I won't be there

      But if you smile when they mention my name
      They'll never know you
      And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
      They'll never own you

      Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
      Keep it inside of you
      Don't give in
      Don't tell them anything
      Don't let it
      Don't let it show

    7. Voyager

      ( instrumental )

    8. What Goes Up ...

      What goes up, must come down
      What must rise, must fall
      And what goes on in your life
      Is writing on the wall
      If all things must fall
      Why build a miracle at all
      If all things must pass
      Even a miracle won't last
      What goes up, must come down
      What must stand alone?
      And what goes on, in your mind
      Is turning into stone
      If all things must fall
      Why build a miracle at all
      If all things must pass
      Even a pyramid won't last

      How can you be so sure?
      How do you know what the earth will endure?
      How can you be so sure?
      That the wonders you've made in you life
      Will be seen
      By the millions who'll follow to visit the site
      Of your dream?

      What goes up, must come down
      What goes round, must come round
      What's been lost, must be found

    9. The Eagle Will Rise Again

      And I could easily fall from grace
      Then another would take my place
      For the chance to behold your face

      As the days of my life are but grains of sand
      As they fall from your open hand
      At the call of the wind's command

      Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
      The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
      To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you

      All that I ask you
      Is, show me how to follow you and I'll obey
      Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
      Let me see the light, let me be the light

      As the sun turns slowly around the sky
      Till the shadow of night is high
      The eagle will learn to fly

      As the days of his life are but grains of sand
      As they fall from your open hand
      And vanish upon the land

      Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
      The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
      To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
      Show me how to follow you and I'll obey
      Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
      Let me see the light, let me be the light
      And so, with no warning, no last goodbye
      In the dawn of the morning sky
      The eagle will rise again

    10. Can't Take It With You

      Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
      I am just a humble servant with a message here for you
      Well I know you have good reasons and there's things you've got to do
      But the boatman won't be waiting and he's leaving here with you
      And you can't take it with you
      No matter what you do
      No you can't take it with you
      Not the place you're going to

      (One more mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load)

      Well I sympathise completely but there's nothing I can do
      I am just obeying orders, I'm a simple soul like you
      Well you really are persuasive, but I've heard it all before
      And the boatman's getting restless as he stands upon the shore
      And you can't take it with you
      No matter what you do
      No you can't take it with you
      Not the place you're going to
      Can't take it with you

    11. Pyramania

      There are pyramids in my head
      There's one underneath my bead
      And my lady's getting cranky
      Every possible location
      Has a simple explanation
      And it isn't hanky-panky

      I had read
      Somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and your wine
      It said, that everything you grow in your garden would taste pretty fine
      Instead, all I ever get is a pain in the neck and a
      Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap

      I've consulted all the sages
      I could find in the yellow pages
      But there aren't many of them
      And the myan panoramas
      On my pyramid pajamas
      Haven't helped my little problem
      I've been told
      Someone in the know can be sure that his luck is as
      Good as gold, money in the bank and you don't even pay for it
      If you fold, a dollar bill in the shape of the pyramid that's printed on the

      back
      It's no lie
      You can keep the edge of a razor as sharp as an
      Eagle's eye, you can grow a hedge that is vertically straight over
      Ten feet high, all you really need is a pyramid and just a little luck
      I had read, somewhere in a book, they improve all your food and wine
      I'd been told, someone in the know can be sure of his good luck
      It's no lie, all you need is a little bit of pyramidic help

    12. Damned If I Do

      I ain't got a heart of stone
      I'm hurtin' more now than I've ever known
      If you mean the things you said
      I'm gonna wind up outa my head
      Can't sleep alone at night
      I just can't seem to get it right
      Damned if I do
      Damned if I don't but I love you

      I don't want to tie you down
      Don't need a reason to have you around
      But each time you walk away
      Don't be suprised if I ask you to stay
      Can't sleep alone at night
      I just can't seem to get it right
      Damned if I do
      And I'm damned if I don't but I love you
      I said I'm damned if I do
      And I'm damned if I don't cause I love you

      I ain't got a heart of stone
      You haven't left me a mind of my own
      But it's got such a hold on me
      I don't think I could ever be free
      How can I survive
      I'm fighting to keep myself alive
      I'm damned if I do
      Damned if I don't but I love you
      Can't seem to see the light
      I've done everything but I can't get it right
      Damned if I do
      Damned if I don't but I love you

    13. Lucifer

      ( instrumental )

    14. If I Could Change Your Mind

      I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
      Keeping myself to myself
      Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away
      Living with somebody else

      If you should change your mind
      If you should turn around and look behind
      If you could see me the way I used to be
      At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair
      I would do it all again
      Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
      Knowing that the show was soon to end
      If only I could change your mind
      If only you would change
      If I had the chance I'd do it all again
      I would do it all again

      I remember windy shores on menancholy days
      Drifting along with the tide
      And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
      Taking it all in my stride

      If you should change your mind
      If I could let you see what lies behind
      If you could see need me the way it used to be

      Even for the moment of the happy times we shared
      Living in my dreams since then
      At the risk of losing only castles in the air
      Come with me and we can try again
      Oh, if I could change your mind

      Can't pretend it's been lonely since you went away
      Oh, if I could change your mind

    15. The Turn Of A Friendly Card (Part 1)

      There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
      And a wheel in perpetual motion
      And they follow the races and pay out the gains
      With no show of outward emotion

      And they think it will make their lives easier
      For God knows up till now it's been hard
      But the game never ends when your whole world depends
      On the turn of a friendly card
      No the game never ends when your whole world depends
      On the turn of a friendly card

      There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
      Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
      And not all's the king's horse and all the king's men
      Have prevented the fall of the unwise

      For they think it will make their lives easier
      And God knows it's been hard
      But the game never ends when your whole world depends
      On the turn of a friendly card
      No the game never ends when your whole world depends
      On the turn of a friendly card

      But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
      As he enters inside the cathedral ...

    17. Games People Play

      Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
      And how do we spend our lives if there's noone to lend us a hand

      I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
      Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

      Games people play, You take it or you leave it
      Things that they say, Honor Brite
      If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
      Games people play in the middle of the night

      Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
      And how do we spend our lives knowin' nobody gives us a damn

      I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
      Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

      Games people play, You take it or you leave it
      Things that they say, Just don't make it right
      If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it
      Games people play in the middle of the night

      Games people play, You take it or you leave it
      Things that they say, Honor Brite
      If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
      Games people play in the middle of the night

      Games people play, You take it or you leave it
      Things that they say, Just don't make it right
      If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it
      Games people play in the middle of the night

    18. Time

      Time, flowing like a river
      Time, beckoning me
      Who knows if we shall ever meet again
      If ever
      But time
      Keeps flowing like a river
      To the sea

      Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
      Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
      Who knows when we shall meet again
      If ever
      But time
      Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
      To the sea, to the sea

      Till it's gone forever
      Gone forever
      Gone forevermore

      Goodbye my friends, Maybe for forever
      Goodbye my friends, stars wait for me
      Who knows when we shall meet again
      If ever
      But time
      Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
      To the sea, to the sea

      Till it's gone forever
      Gone forever
      Gone forevermore

    20. Eye In The Sky

      Don't think sorry's easily said
      Don't try turning tables instead
      You've taken lots of Chances before
      But I'm not gonna give anymore
      Don't ask me
      That's how it goes
      Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

      Don't say words you're gonna regret
      Don't let the fire rush to your head
      I've heard the accusation before
      And I ain't gonna take any more
      Believe me
      The sun in your Eyes
      Made some of the lies worth believing
    chorus:

    I am the eye in the sky
    Looking at you
    I can read your mind
    I am the maker of rules
    Dealing with fools
    I can cheat you blind
    And I don't need to see any more
    To know that
    I can read your mind, I can read your mind
      Don't leave false illusions behind
      Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
      So find another fool like before
      Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
      Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
    chorus

    21. Psychobabble

      Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
      Tell you 'bout a Dream that I have every night
      It ain't kodachrome and it isn't black and white
      Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
      Well I'm Never on my own but there's nobody in sight

      I don't know if I'm scared of the Lightning
      Trying to reach me
      I can't turn to the left or the right
      I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight
      But I don't Care it's all psychobabble rap to me

      Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
      It's in dolby stereo but I never hear it right
      Take me for a fool well that's alright
      Well I see the way to go But there isn't any light

      I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
      Trying to reach me
      Help me to find what I don't wanna know
      You're taking me There but I don't wanna go
      I don't care it's all Psychobabble rap to me
      Psychobabble all psychobabble
      Psychobabble all psychobabble
      I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me

      You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes
      You say I do things that I don't Realise
      But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
      Psychobabble all psychobabble
      Psychobabble all psychobabble
      You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
      I threw it away cause I don't want it back
      But I don't care it's all psychbabble rap

    23. Old And Wise

      As far as my eyes can see
      There are Shadows approaching me
      And to those I left behind
      I wanted you to Know
      You've always shared my deepest thoughts
      You follow where I go

      And oh when I'm old and wise
      Bitter words mean little to me
      Autumn Winds will blow right through me
      And someday in the mist of time
      When they asked me if I knew you
      I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
      And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes
      Oh when I'm old and wise

      As far as my Eyes can see
      There are shadows surrounding me
      And to those I leave behind
      I want you all to know
      You've always Shared my darkest hours
      I'll miss you when I go

      And oh, when I'm old and wise
      Heavy words that tossed and blew me
      Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
      And someday in the mist of time
      When they ask you if you knew me
      Remember that You were a frined of mine
      As the final curtain falls before my eyes
      Oh when I'm Old and wise

      As far as my eyes can see

    24. Prime Time

      Well even the longest night won't last forever
      But too many hopes and dreams won't see the light
      And all of the plans I make won't come together

      Something in the air
      Maybe for the only time in my life
      Something in the air
      Turning me around and guiding me right

      And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
      I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
      Gonna be my turn tonight

      Well even the brightest star won't shine forever
      But all of the hands I play are working out right
      And every move I make feels like a winner

      Something in the air
      Maybe for the only time in my life
      Something in the air
      Turning me around and guiding me right

      And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
      I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
      Gonna be my turn tonight
      Gonna be my turn tonight

    25. Don't Answer Me

      If you believe in the power magic,
      I can change your mind
      And if you need to believe in someone,
      Turn and look behind
      When we were living in a dream world,
      Clouds got in the way
      We gave it up in a moment of madness
      And threw it all away

      Don't answer me, don't break the silence
      Don't let me win
      Don't answer me, stay on your island
      Don't let me in

      Run away and hide from everyone
      Can you change the things we've said and done?

      If you believe in the power of magic,
      It's all a fantasy
      So if you need to believe in someone,
      Just pretend it's me
      It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
      I can't set you free
      So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me ?

      Don't answer me, don't break the silence
      Don't let me win
      Don't answer me, stay on your island
      Don't let me in

      Run away and hide from everyone
      Can you change the things we've said and done ?

    26. You Don't Believe

      My eyes with your vision My choice but always your decision
      My play with your direction
      Well it's my lead but always your connection

      But when I look into your eyes you don't believe me
      I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

      My words, your expression
      My land, always your possession
      My song, your production
      MOBy expense is always your deduction

      But when I look into your eyes you don't believe me
      I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

      And the face I see before me
      Is both sides of a mirror
      You really know you've got a hold on me
      And the face you're looking into
      Is both sides of a window
      And any way you look you see through me

      My fame, your reflection
      My weakness always your protection
      Well it's my terms on your conditions
      And they're my tunes but they're your compositions

      But when I look into your eyes you don't believe me
      I can see it in your eyes you don't believe

    27. Let's Talk About Me

      Let's talk about me for a minute
      Well how do you think
      I feel about what's been going on
      Let's talk about me for a minute
      Well how do you think
      I feel about what's gone wrong

      Let's talk about dreams
      I never learned to read the signs
      Let's think about what it all means
      I never seem to have the time

      Let's talk about you and your problems
      All that I seem to do is spend the night
      Just talking 'bout you and your problems
      No matter what I say I can't get it right

      Don't think about dreams
      Is it all a waste of time
      Don't think about what it all means
      If you are a friend of mine

      Talk about me, for a minute
      I'm the one who's losing
      Talk about me, for a minute
      I'm the one who's always losing out

      And how do you think
      I feel about what's been going on
      Let's talk about me for a minute
      Well how do you think
      I feel about what's gone wrong

      Let's think about dreams
      We never seem to have the time
      Let's talk about what it all means
      If you are a friend of mine

      Let's talk about me
      I'm the one who's losing out
      I'm the one who's losing out
      I'm the one who's losing out, losing out

      Talk about me, for a minute
      I'm the one who's losing
      Talk about me, for a minute
      I'm the one who's always losing out

    28. Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)

      The traveller is always leaving town
      He never has the time to turn around
      And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
      He seems to be completely unaware

      The traveller is always leaving home
      The only kind of life he's ever known
      When every moment seems to be
      A race against the time
      There's always one more mountain left to climb

      Days are numbers
      Watch the stars
      We can only see so far
      Someday, you'll know where you are
      Remember
      Days are numbers
      Count the stars
      We can only go so far
      One day, you'll know where you are

      The traveller awaits the morning tide
      He doesn't know what's on the other side
      But something deep inside of him
      Keeps telling him to go
      He hasn't found a reason to say no

      The traveller is only passing through
      He cannot understand your point of view
      Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
      The traveller in me is close behind

      Days are numbers
      Watch the stars
      We can only see so far
      Someday, you'll know where you are
      Remember
      Days are numbers
      Count the stars
      We can only go so far
      One day, you'll know where you are

    29. Stereotomy

      Diamond eyes
      That burn me and turn me to stone
      Crystalise
      And freeze me in clear monochrome

      Turn me to stone; do anything you want with me
      Turn me to stone; do anything you want
      Stereotomy
      We can make it together
      Do anything you want with me
      Do anything you want

      Scarlet minds
      Possess me and I feel no shame
      Silent knives
      Dissect me and I feel no pain

      Stereotomy
      We can make it together
      Do anything you want with me
      Do anything you want
      Stereotomy
      We can make it forever
      Do anything you want with me
      Do anything you want

      Starlight beams
      Project me in red blue and green
      Velvet dreams
      Protect me when I hit the screen

      Stereotomy
      We can make it together
      Do anything you want with me, do anything you want
      Stereotomy
      We can make it forever
      It's always the same, it's always the same
      Stereotomy, we can make it
      We can make it, do anything you want

      Turn me to stone
      Do anything you want with me
      Cover my eyes
      There's nothing more they need to see
      Turn me to stone
      Before there's nothing left of me
      Make me a rock
      And not what I appear to be
      Turn me to stone
      Turn me to stone

    30. In The Real World

      One more compromise I won't be making
      One more easy way out I won't be taking
      So many chances don't come twice
      So many eyes are made of ice
      One more cheating hand I won't be shaking

      One more substitute I won't be trying
      One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying
      So many times we stand and fight
      So many reasons can't be right
      One more simple truth I'm not denying

      Too many lonely hearts in the real world
      Too many lonely nights in the real world
      Too many fools who don't think twice
      Too many ways to pay the price
      Don't wanna live my life in the real world

      One more sacrifice I won't be making
      One more golden rule I won't be breaking
      No one to let me state my case
      No one to tell me to my face
      One more sweet suprise I won't be faking

      Too many lonely hearts in the real world
      Too many lonely nights in the real world
      Too many bridges you can burn
      Too many tables you can't turn
      Don't wanna live my life in the real world

      Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world
      Too many games that I can't play
      Too many windmills in my way
      Don't wanna live in the real world

    31. Standing On Higher Ground

      I know the truth
      But I can't say
      And I have to turn my head
      And look the other way

      I'm not afraid
      And I won't lie
      As long as I see no wrong
      I won't need to testify

      I see the world
      And I'm looking from a high place
      Way above it all
      Standing on higher ground

      I breathe the air
      While they're running in a rat race
      Way above it all
      Standing on higher ground

      I feel the blow
      But I don't speak
      And I have to close my eyes
      Pretending I'm asleep

      Well I see the tears
      But I don't cry
      As long as I do no wrong
      I don't need an alibi

      I see the world
      And I'm looking from a high place
      Way above it all
      Standing on higher ground

      I breathe the air
      While they're running in a rat race
      Way above it all
      Standing on higher ground

    32. Too Late

      When you were standing in the rain I gave you shelter
      When I was knocking on your door you gave me none
      Well I don't make that kind of deal with anybody
      And I won't be that kind of fool for anyone

      How do you feel when the tables have been turned?
      What will you do now the bridges have been burned?

      Cause it's
      Too late now the magic's lost
      Too late now the spell is broken
      Too late now to count the cost
      Of words that should remain unspoken

      When I need you by my side you stand above me
      And when I look into yuor eyes you turn away
      Well if that's the best there is then I won't buy it
      Well if that's the only game then I won't play

      How many danger signs did you ignore ?
      How many times have you heard it all before ?

      Cause it's
      Too late now the magic's lost
      Too late now the spell is broken
      Too late now to count the cost
      Of words that should remain unspoken

    33. Turn It Up

      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
