Twilight open and you're on your own Moon is shining you want fun and games Hear the voices inside your head Let's play wild - volatile Get out my way - we go Take back those ways you know Fun and games come out to play Fun and games for unknown days Then you join your playmates in the street And the night fire's burning and you're on your feet All the boys and girls - look in their eye Domestication - lost overnight Get out my way - we go Take back those ways you know Fun and games come out to play Fun and games for unknown days Games get bigger all the time Because the playpens falling - stakes are high And the child will conquer - step by step Let's play wild - volatile Get out my way - we go Take back those ways you know Fun and games come out to play Fun and games for unknown days Fun and games come out to play Fun and games come out to play Fun and games come out to play Fun and games come out to play Fun and games come out to play Fun and games Fun and games come out to play Fun and games Fun and games come out to play Fun and games Fun and games come out to play Fun and games...

I heard the horn sound out the call Air began to shake Because it's hunting time again Senses start to wake So you get up on your feet And you gather into packs And then the packs become a horde Then we all begin to laugh Take my hand now - let's go Find that place now - let's go Let's make haste now - let's go Because it's taking shape - new man come along Instinct overtake Singing as we go War machine inside Push me further still So you get up on your feet And you gather into hordes Eliminate the obstacle Start to make your way Take my hand now - let's go Find that place now - let's go Let's make haste now - let's go Because it's taking shape - new man come along Then the clouds begin to move And my heart begins to pull Because the lady's taking hold again I saw her taking shape Where the old will always die When winter comes along And man shall fear the storm again All begin to move Take my hand now - let's go Find that place now - let's go Let's make haste now - let's go Because it's taking shape - new man come along New man come along - go New man come along - go New man come along - go New man come along - go...

I found my way I walk towards the new day Left my conscience way behind Tumble-tumble here we go I found my way I walk towards the new day Sun in my blood now Tumble-tumble here we go Faster we go Leave it all behind Saw the cities come and go Tumble-tumble here we go Faster we go Leave it all behind Saw the cities come and go Then I saw beyond

I am a child of folly And now I want my way And I don't know good or bad But I dance all day And my sense of humour Getting out of hand la-la And the diamond's sharp you know All the harlequins they go go Such a lovely colour So the nasty taste won't show And when I'm seeing bitter Then the carnal feelings go And if you guess my next move Then it's more than me So when I start to smile And then the harlequin will go go I am a child of folly Now I want some fun So I don't need good or bad And we've just begun So if you guess our next move Let your sense of humour show And the diamonds are forever All the harlequins will go go

Move on - light up the way Banner and festival where the wine and plenty flow We'll go - let's make our way Because the flame within our hearts telling us to move towards The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze Each day - move closer to Where the noise uplifts my soul, where the "wilful" man shall go Start here - let's make our way And the mess the fools have made won't stop us in our way The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze Let's go - light up the way Banner and festival where the wine and plenty flow We'll go - until that day When the sun will shine again and then we'll all move towards The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la The feast of blaze - la-la...

All time was left behind I made my way to the basic man assembly Music filled the air and voices sing And then the song became alive Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick And we've all been keeping time And all the boys been playing the drums Let's make our way to song and dance - continue And then the song became alive - song and dance I've seen a place - set in time And pillars tall in my sight Then I heard voices sing Sweet in the air they fell through... haunting you And then the song became alive - song and dance Ways we've lost come flooding back now Then my ancestors awake Then I forgot myself And in our joy they take their joy And in their skills we take our skills Then all the lines between are gone Then all the lines between are gone Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick And we've all been keeping time So all you boys keep playing the drums Let's make our way to song and dance - continue And then the song became alive - song and dance Song and dance Song and dance Song and dance (let's make our way) Song and dance Song and dance (let's make our way) Song and dance Song and dance (let's make our way) Song and dance (let's make our way)

All the time you see us we'll be on our way Taking what is mine 'cos now I'll have my day Dominator soul he take what's in his way Dominator soul he take what's in his way Move in on them All the time you see us we'll be on our way Passive ways to pull you down they pull you down Tear them up and smash them in we'll have our day Dominator soul he sing "I'll have my way" Move in on them Move in on them Move in on them Move in on them Move in on them Dominator soul he'll take what's in his way And if they fall leave them behind 'cos that's his way And then we'll dance a dance - a dance they've never seen Dominator soul he'll take what's in his way Move in on them

On our way to the fire dances Let's all stay on our feet so In the market here we are then Sing a song for sixpence oh! Time keeps ticking - tick tick tock Can't stop now just keep on pushing I've got a feeling something's changing I'm gonna find this feeling somewhere Let's all go to the fire dances Let's all go Take the future in your hands now Let's do this dance forever Teacher teach me something new please Sow the seed god speed the plough Basic ways to simplify me Sun is shining in my favour Push push me till I get there I'm gonna find the human somewhere Let's all go to the fire dances Let's all go Turn the pages time goes backwards Pay the piper to play your tune You and me in a dance forever Summer nights and music - oh! Fill your cup and don't say maybe Sun is shining in our favour Let's be human - oh so human On your way to the fire dances Let's all go to the fire dances Let's all go to the fire dances Let's all go to the fire dances Let's all go
