This track is instrumental.
Like a fish out of water Just a man on the run Under starter's orders Long before you hear the gun You think you're in with the in crowd (in with the in crowd) but you're out in the cold Today you're giving the orders (giving the orders) Tomorrow you'll be bought & sold Take a good hard look tell me what you see That's the difference between you & me You've changed but I've stayed the same You've compromised but I'm forever Against the grain Against the grain Make the right impression Squeeze into the mould Twisted by obsession Believe all you're told Just take it all for granted (all for granted) but it's not what it seems The power lust that you've planted (lust that you've planted) will push you to the extreme Take a good hard look tell me what you see That's the difference between you & me You've changed but I've stayed the same You've compromised but I'm forever Against the grain Against the grain You think you're in with the in crowd (in with the in crowd) but you're out in the cold Today you're giving the orders (giving the orders) Tomorrow you'll be bought & sold Take a good hard look tell me what you see That's the difference between you & me You've changed but I've stayed the same You've compromised but I'm forever - against the grain Against the grain Against the grain

Tunnel vision never seeing what lies behind No decision necessary They'll feed your mind Why don't you open your eyes Cos there's too much to see Gotta cast away your chains Set yourself free Breaking you down Turning you round Taking you way underground Breaking you down Turning you round I'll turn it up until you can see it Black & white is all you got no shades of grey If you step over the edge iIs' gonna blow you away Why don't you open your mind Cos there's no turning back Gotta cast away your chains Listen to me Breaking you down Turning you round Taking you way underground Breaking you down Turning you round Pulling you under Daily beloved We are gathered here today to celebrate the power The glory the truth of sheer volume Breaking you down Turning you round Taking you way underground Breaking you down Turning you round

No explanation intimidation You'll never know 'til I'm right up on you I've got the element of surprise I'm cruising under your radar I'm getting close to my goal I'm breaking through your defences You know this time I'm taking control You let your guard down I'm in with no sound You'll never guess what I'm going to do Looks like lady luck's run out on you I'm cruising under your radar I'm taking all that you got I'm breaking through your defences This time I ain't gonna stop Do you look in the mirrror In the back of your mind Hiding round every corner Too late Every time you stepped on someone You'll feel it like it's a thousand ton You've given freely & now it's time to take what's coming - coming to you This information and my elation going at you at maximum speed Sling your hook pal time to believe I'm cruising under your radar I'm taking all that you got I'm breaking through your defences This time I ain't gonna stop

The pressure builds and there's no escape There's no illusion caught on the tape You think you're falling it aint over Light in the tunnel supernova If you can't take the heat If you can't keep the beat There's only one way Walk through fire and you're gonna burn Walk through fire past the point of no return Walk through fire Only way to take it to the edge & push as far as you can go The starter's gun but you're in last place Each obstacle slams into your face The odds are you'll never win this race If you can't do the time If you can't see the sign There's only one way Walk through fire and you're gonna burn Walk through fire past the point of no return Walk through fire Only way to take it to the edge & push as far as you can go Over the edge into the flame Losing your mind but you will gain Your soul will scream Your brain will burn There's no escape There's no return If you can't do the time If you can't see the sign There's only one way Walk through fire and you're gonna burn Walk through fire past the point of no return Walk through fire and you're gonna burn Walk through fire past the point of no return Walk through fire Walk through fire

In the evening when it's over and the smoke is coming down When you wake up will you realise that your luck aint turning round At the start line under the gun But it does not feel the same You hit bottom for the last time and there's no-one else to blame You never listen - that's why you never learn You saw the straight line but still you made the turn One day soon you're gonna realize It's a long day's journey Back to the beginning - back to the start Long day's journey Back to the beginning - once again See you building all your bridges Just to see them burn Taking twisted pleasure Showing no concern Diving headlong into darkness with no safety net below Will you wake up will you come back When there's nowhere left to go You never listen - that's why you never see You saw the straight line & turned around to me Is this the day you're gonna realize It's a long day's journey Back to the beginning - back to the start Long day's journey Back to the beginning - once again It's a long day's journey Back to the beginning - back to the start Long day's journey Back to the beginning - back to the start Long day's journey Back to the beginning - once again Back to the start once again

Hey - she's on her way Keep the drink a'coming Just get out of her way She's on a roll tonight Go go baby in another catfight Hey - she's got it all figured out Working all the angles & there ain't no doubt Hey - the camera never lies Wearing out your welcome and you just can't deny You think you got it down & they'll come running round But when it's time to fly they'll leave you high & dry Go - here we go - you're a trainwreck coming waiting to happen See - don't you see - you're a trainwreck coming guaranteed Go - here we go - cos you're heading for trouble Trainwreck coming now Running from tomorrow trying to find a detour from today They got you on the front page Twisting every word you say Hey - a movie star - no sign of talent who'd you think you are Got one for the money two for the show Sink another drink and watch her go go go You think you got it down Running all over town One step forward two steps back 24 carat heart attack Go - here we go - you're a trainwreck coming waiting to happen See - don't you see - you're a trainwreck coming guaranteed Go - here we go - cos you're heading for trouble Trainwreck coming now Trainwreck coming now They turned their back on you - now what you gonna do The only sound you hear - is screaming in your ears Go - don't you know - you're a trainwreck coming waiting to happen See - don't you see - you're a trainwreck coming guaranteed Go - don't you know - you're a trainwreck coming waiting to happen See - don't you see - cos you're heading for trouble Trainwreck coming now

Hear the rumors wolves are at your heels Fragile fingers strangle Broken ideals No illusion see the light of day Fading faster cannot get away Fingers pointing knives are at your back No surprise you know there aint no wonder If you let go you know you're going under now Just get a grip on yourself Just get a grip Just get a grip on yourself Just get a grip Just get a grip on yourself Ancient history rears its ugly head Truth is twisted as the lies are read Makes no difference what they're trying to said I'm never giving them the time of day I got two fingers for you Get outta my way No surprise you know there aint no wonder If you let go you know you're going under now Just get a grip on yourself Friend or foe just try to hold the wire You're the one who's gonna take you higher No surprise you know there aint no wonder If you let go you know you're going under now Just get a grip on yourself Just get a grip Just get a grip on yourself Just get a grip on yourself

I'm running just to stand still Can't seem to catch a break Winner on a losing streak I'm giving but they always take Time is getting tighter - will I stand or will I fall I'm running around in circles But I know just what to do The hour is getting nearer Gotta make that leap of faith over to you Tied up and feeling real tied down Falling out of range Busting outta this balloon Time to make a change Run out of excuses gotta do this on my own I'm running around in circles But I know just what to do The hour is getting nearer Gotta make that leap to you I listened hard I understood But in the end it did no good I realized I had to see What was waiting there for me I'm running around in circles But I know just what to do The hour is getting nearer Gotta make that leap to you I'm running around in circles But I know just what to do The hour is getting nearer Gotta make that leap to you

I still remember I still recall where I was when they started it all From hall to hotel the cast would change Kept firing but were always out of range Gonna take you by the hand Gonna make you understand Its a long hard road you gotta travel to get where you belong It's a long hard road but in the end it can only make you strong make you strong The wind grew stronger the tide had turned We crossed the ocean as the bridges burned I still remember I still feel We made a bargain but you broke the deal But the battle rages on Even after you are gone It's a long hard road you gotta travel to get where you belong It's a long hard road but in the end it can only make you strong make you strong make you strong Win or lose it's all the same As long as you are still in the game You may be down but there's no doubt They can never really count you out But the battle rages on Even after you are gone It's a long hard road you gotta travel to get where you belong It's a long hard road but in the end it can only make you strong It's a long hard road It's a long hard road It's a long hard road you gotta travel to get where you belong

You think I'm crazy Maybe it's true but I know that I got one up on you I know what's coming and you won't learn until the time is right and unholy fire fills the night Nobody knows it's the end No-one knows it's the beginning Nobody has to pretend No-one can see that it's all coming down All coming down You think I'm cracked up but you will know when it's too late to try & stop the show It's open season You're gonna learn and when the time is right we'll be burned with cauterizing light Nobody knows it's the end No-one knows it's the beginning Nobody has to pretend No-one can see that it's all coming down All coming down And when the time is right and you never will believe the sight Nobody knows it's the end No-one knows it's the beginning Nobody has to pretend No-one can see that it's all coming down

Got nothing to give Nothing to take Everything I am I know that you'd break Stare into my eyes and hear what I say Looking for trouble You found it today Got my attitude in front of you Got my attitude right in your face And there's nothing you can try to do Got my attitude and you can't hold me down Can't hold me down I heard the tall tales I've seen the show Said that they suck Just cos you blow Stood on my two feet and held my head high Rose out the dirt and reached for the sky Got my attitude in front of you Got my attitude right in your face And there's nothing you can try to do Got my attitude And you can't hold me down Can't hold me down You got your reasons You got your rhymes Changing them daily I can't count the times Listen to me and you'll know who I am Doing it my way because I can Got my attitude in front of you Got my attitude right in your face And there's nothing you can try to do Got my attitude and you can't hold me down Can't hold me down Can't hold me down

Take the one way ticket Strapped into your seat Gonna take you out of bounds and knock you flying You'll dedicate assimilate and detonate It's a necessary evil - it's a beautiful disease It's a twisted kind of logic Gonna take your spirit higher while it drags you to your knees Think you're going crazy when it takes control Got a vice grip on your mind and squeeze your soul You'll dedicate assimilate and celebrate this fury Once you start the journey you'll never reach the end You'd best hold on with all you got and come out swinging

Start with a Sun and move on out The future's in the skies above. The Heavens unfold and a new star is born. Space and time makin' love. Oh, what a time we had Livin' underground. I move to station number five See you next time around. As far as you want and close as you need It's all in your mind you know. This old Earth hasn't really seen it's day It's here...time to go. I remember when it was so clear We were young but the memory still remains. To pick fruit from a tree, fish from the seas Now nothin's left here but the stains. But I can't cry no more, can only be glad That there's other places we can be. If the time suites you right I'm leaving tonight Come fly away with me!
