Lyrics
1. The Human Condition
(6:51)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(CHORUS)
RUNNING FROM THE HUMAN CONDITION
2. Step Inside
(4:56)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
BEYOND YOUR EYES
FEEDING YOUR MIND?
(BRIDGE)
STEP INSIDE
(VERSE)
WITHOUT A TRACE
NO HIDING PLACE
(BRIDGE)
STEP INSIDE
(CHORUS)
IS IT YOUR CURIOSITY?
WILL THE ANSWERS SET YOU FREE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME WHY
JUST LOOK INSIDE
NEVER LOSING YOUR DIGNITY
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA SEE
DON'T LET TIME PASS YOU BY
JUST LOOK INSIDE
(VERSE)
UNDER CONTROL
NEVER LET GO
(BRIDGE)
STEP INSIDE
(CHORUS)
IS IT YOUR CURIOSITY?
WILL THE ANSWERS SET YOU FREE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME WHY
JUST LOOK INSIDE
NEVER LOSING YOUR DIGNITY
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA SEE
DON'T LET TIME PASS YOU BY
JUST LOOK INSIDE
(CHORUS B)
ONE DOOR
THERE'S A CHANCE YOU TAKE IT
CROSS THAT BORDERLINE
YOU'LL WONDER HOW
THE TIME HAS FADED
IN YOUR STATE OF MIND
SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND
YOURSELF ALONE
YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF
YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF
3. Hands of Time
(5:29)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
FOR EVERY WORD THERE IS FORGIVENESS
FOR EVERY LIE I STAND DEFENSELESS
UNDER THE MOON THE TRUTH IS BURIED
YOUR SILENT WOUND IS MY CROSS TO CARRY
(CHORUS)
THROUGH THE NARROW HANDS OF TIME
AN OPEN DOOR WILL LEAD YOU FAR AND WIDE
IN A WORLD WE LEARN TO FLY
YOU'RE RUNNING FOR A LONELY PLACE TO HIDE
(VERSE)
A LONELY WORLD WILL REMEMBER
EVERY EMPIRE WON'T SURRENDER
MY POINT OF VIEW IS RENDERED EMPTY
THE BURDEN LIES IN MY HANDS OF ENTRY
(CHORUS)
THROUGH THE NARROW HANDS OF TIME
AN OPEN DOOR WILL LEAD YOU FAR AND WIDE
IN A WORLD WE LEARN TO FLY
YOU'RE RUNNING FOR A LONELY PLACE TO HIDE
THROUGH THE NARROW HANDS OF TIME
(CHORUS)
THROUGH THE NARROW HANDS OF TIME
AN OPEN DOOR WILL LEAD YOU FAR AND WIDE
IN A WORLD WE LEARN TO FLY
YOU'RE RUNNING FOR A LONELY PLACE TO HIDE
(BRIDGE)
WHEN THE LONELY ROAD IS FAR AND WIDE
IN THE MYSTERY OF YOUR MIND
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO HIDE
THEN THE HISTORY,THEN THE HISTORY COMES ALIVE
IN THE MYSTERY OF THE MIND
THEN THE HISTORY COMES,
THE HISTORY COMES ALIVE
4. Avalon
(4:48)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti, J. Crichton
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
A TREE IN THE STREAM FLOATING UPSIDE DOWN
A BOAT WITH A HOLE SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND
THERE'S A BIRD ON A STRING STARING UP AT THE CLOUDS
AND A RAT WITH SNAKE HEADING UNDERGROUND
STANDING ON TOP OF AVEBURY HILL
A CIRCLE APPEARS,THE PATHWAY IS STILL
THE EGG STONE IS WAITING THERE RIGHT AT THE TOP
CAN YOU SEE A MAZE THAT TIME HAS FORGOT?
(BRIDGE)
STANDING ON
AVALON
MY THOUGHTS ARE IN THE WAY
YESTERDAY
SO FAR AWAY
THE HILLS OF AVALON
(VERSE)
DEEP IN THE WAVES WHERE THE OCEAN HIDES
THERE'S A REFLECTION FROM AN AUBURN SKY
THE RAINBOWS UNFOLD WITH THE LIGHT OF THE SUN
THE VISION SERENITY HAS JUST BEGUN
I REST IN THE SHADOWS WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR
I HEAR OF A SILENCE THAT'S DRAWING NEAR
I SEARCH THE HORIZON THAT LIVES IN A DREAM
AN INNOCENT WORLD AWAITS FOR ME
(CHORUS)
AM I THERE NO MAYBE NOT
I'M SURE THERE'S A WAY BUT I COULD BE WRONG
THERE'S A ROAD TO TRAVEL ON
WAY UP IN THE HILLS OF AVALON
5. A Number With A Name
(4:51)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti, J. Crichton
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
THE HOLE IN MY POCKET
A PERSONAL WORK OF ART
I KNOW THAT I'VE LOST IT
NOW HOW CAN I MAKE A MARK?
I'M NOT A BAD DRIVER
BUT NOT IN A PARKING LOT
WAS NEVER A PILOT
WHENEVER IT CAME TO DOSH
I'M MUMBLING SOBER
THE METER IS RUNNING COLD
WON'T GO ANY LOWER
THE LADDER IS GETTING OLD
I'M DRIVING ON EMPTY
I'M STUCK IN A RUSTY CAGE
AND NO ONE WILL SAVE ME
I'M WIELDING A TON OF RAGE
(CHORUS)
SOMEONE TURNED
THE LIGHTHOUSE DOWN
AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN
I THINK I NEED A BAIL OUT NOW?
A NUMBER WITH A NAME
(VERSE)
THE PHONE IS NOT RINGING
I'M GETTING A FEAR OF HEIGHTS
NOW WHAT WAS I THINKING
AS SOMEONE TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS
I‛M MAPPING OUT WALL STREET
IT KINDA LOOKS ALL THE SAME
I'M MINING FOR MONEY
DON'T WANNA BE ME TODAY
(CHORUS)
SOMEONE TURNED
THE LIGHTHOUSE DOWN
AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN
I THINK I NEED A BAIL OUT NOW?
A NUMBER WITH A NAME
(BRIDGE)
YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL THE SAME
A NUMBER WITH A NAME
THAT'S HOW WE PLAY THE GAME
A NUMBER WITH A NAME
(CHORUS)
SOMEONE TURNED
THE LIGHTHOUSE DOWN
AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN
I THINK I NEED A BAIL OUT NOW?
A NUMBER WITH A NAME
6. Now is Now
(4:12)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
RUNNING CIRCLES IN THE DARK
SHARING ONE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
(BRIDGE)
NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW
NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW
(CHORUS)
IF I SHOULD FALL TO RISE AGAIN
IN A PLACE I'VE NEVER SEEN
I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
(VERSE)
MARCHING AIMLESS OUT OF TIME
WORDS UNSPOKEN OPEN WIDE
(BRIDGE)
NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW
NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW IS,NOW
(CHORUS)
IF I SHOULD FALL TO RISE AGAIN
IN A PLACE I'VE NEVER SEEN
I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
(CHORUS)
IF I SHOULD FALL TO RISE AGAIN
IN A PLACE I'VE NEVER SEEN
I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
7. Let It Go
(4:47)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
YOU TRAVEL THE DISTANCE ARISING IN THE DARK
YOU'RE ON THE RUN,THERE'S NO WHERE TO HIDE
THE TOTAL RESISTANCE WILL GUIDE YOU WITH A SPARK
YOU'RE COMING UNDONE WITH WOUNDS OPEN WIDE
(CHORUS)
LET IT GO,YOU KEEP WALKING ON THE LINE
LET IT GO,TAKE THE TIME TO REALIZE
(VERSE)
YOU NEVER SURRENDER AVOID THE REGRETS
NOW YOUR GOING DOWN,YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL
(BRIDGE)
EVERY NOW AND THEN,LOOKING BACK AGAIN
AT THE POINT OF YOUR DESTRUCTION
YOU PSYCHOANALYZE IN YOUR POOL OF LIES
DROWNING CRITICAL ILLUSION
ALL THAT YOU ARE IS A RIPPLE ON THE OCEAN
THAT'S LOST IN A TIDE
(CHORUS)
LET IT GO,YOU KEEP WALKING ON THE LINE
LET IT GO,TAKE THE TIME TO REALIZE
LET IT GO
(VERSE)
YOU TRAVEL THE DISTANCE ARISING IN THE DARK
YOU'RE ON THE RUN,THERE'S NO WHERE TO HIDE
THE TOTAL RESISTANCE WILL GUIDE YOU WITH A SPARK
YOU'RE COMING UNDONE WITH WOUNDS OPEN WIDE
(CHORUS)
LET IT GO,YOU KEEP WALKING ON THE LINE
LET IT GO,TAKE THE TIME TO REALIZE
8. Crown of Thorns
(5:46)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
TRUTH IS BORN,MYSTIFIED
TILL THE DAY IT HUNTS YOU DOWN
CROWN OF THORNS,DIGNIFIED
FILLS MY HEAD WITHOUT A SOUND
(BRIDGE)
ONE ENDLESS CRIME OF ANXIETY
AM I LAST IN LINE?
THE OCEAN OF TIME HAS FORSAKEN ME
TELL ME WHY
(VERSE)
IRON TONGUES,SUCKLED LIFE
WHILE I'M HELPLESS BRUISED AND TORN
BROKEN LAWS,POISON MINDS
FEEL MY BLOOD IS RUNNING COLD
(BRIDGE)
ONE ENDLESS CLIME OF ANXIETY
AM I LAST IN LINE?
THE OCEAN OF TIME HAS FORSAKEN ME
TELL ME WHY
(CHORUS)
THE SCATTERED PROFANITY
HONORED AND WRITTEN IN STONE
CONDUCTED BY VANITY
LEADING US MORE THAN YOU KNOW
(VERSE)
WRECK OF LIES,TOXIC CODES
AS I START TO LOSE CONTROL
CRACKS MY SKIN,INDISPOSED
NOW I'M READY TO EXPLODE
(BRIDGE)
ONE ENDLESS CRIME OF ANXIETY
AM I LAST IN LINE?
THE OCEAN OF TIME HAS FORSAKEN ME
TELL ME WHY
(CHORUS)
THE SCATTERED PROFANITY
HONORED AND WRITTEN IN STONE
CONDUCTED BY VANITY
LEADING US MORE THAN YOU KNOW
(BRIDGE)
ONE ENDLESS CRIME OF ANXIETY
AM I LAST IN LINE?
THE OCEAN OF TIME HAS FORSAKEN ME
TELL ME WHY
(VERSE)
TRUTH IS BORN,MYSTIFIED
TILL THE DAY IT HUNTS YOU DOWN
CROWN OF THORNS,DIGNIFIED
FILLS MY HEAD WITHOUT A SOUND
(CHORUS)
THE SCATTERED PROFANITY HONORED
AND WRITTEN IN STONE
CONDUCTED BY VANITY
LEADING US MORE THAN YOU KNOW
9. You Look Good To Me
(5:22)
Lyrics & Melody: R. Moratti, J. Crichton
Music: J. Gilmour, J. Crichton, I. Crichton
(VERSE)
DIAMONDS COVERED BY THE WATER
I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE
CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND YOU'LL SEE FURTHER
LOOKING GOOD SO FAR
TAKE A PICTURE,FULL EXPOSURE
ONE MORE DAY GOES BY
EYES WIDE OPEN,OVER DRIVEN
LEAVE THEM WONDERING WHY
(CHORUS)
IF YOU KNOW IT
YOU SHOULD SHOW IT
YOU'RE HANGING
FROM A LADDER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
WHEN YOU KNOW IT
YOU CAN SHOW IT
IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
(VERSE)
GETTING LOUDER,BY THE HOUR
WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE
THROUGH THE WIRE,FEEL THE FIRE
RISING LIKE A STAR
(CHORUS)
IF YOU KNOW IT
YOU SHOULD SHOW IT
YOU'RE HANGING
FROM A LADDER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
WHEN YOU KNOW IT
YOU CAN SHOW IT
I REALLY DOESN'T MATTER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
(BRIDGE)
CLIMBING UP,UP ON A LADDER
PICTURE THIS
CLIMBING UP,UP ON A LADDER
I'LL TELL YA THIS
(VERSE)
SHOELACE UNDONE ON A LADDER
WHAT A PLACE TO START
HANG ON,SO LONG DOESN'T MATTER
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
(CHORUS)
IF YOU KNOW IT
YOU SHOULD SHOW IT
YOU'RE HANGING
FROM A LADDER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
WHEN YOU KNOW IT
YOU CAN SHOW IT
I REALLY DOESN'T MATTER I SAY
YOU LOOK GOOD TO ME
