You shouldn't try to keep your secrets And then just run off to confess I'm sure you've got your own reasons To fight the movement to suppress Acting parts in your own theatre But going blind under the spotlight (Chorus) Even though it's all burning around us It seems a small request Too much information here to digest See the standard bearer living under house arrest Been infiltrated by the mystery guest Face to face inside the media With only eight of your lives left Repel the wave of anaesthesia That's frozen all ways to collect Acting parts in your own theatre But going blind under the spotlight (Bridge) Burned out bridges now the sole means to escape Document the self made exile, then wait
2.
When you sat in all the cheap seats With the money that you paid I recall the optimism Then the contempt that you displayed I had nothing to say to you On the day you lied When they had to clear the harbour To drain the sewage that was there It was gone in next to no time But at no time did you care I had nothing to say to you On the day you lied (Chorus) That's what you get when you crossover That's what you mean when you oppose And end up living side-by-side When they came to block the pathways You said you understood the cause But when it came to give it all back With the other hand you took more I had nothing to say to you On the day you lied
3.
It's six in the morning but it feels like it's ten The pain in your head has returned once again It was your answer, your bounty, your prayer You consumed more than you were aware (Chorus) What goes up must come down Denial overcomes the doubt What goes up must come down But when you open your mouth to shout Only silence makes it out The night gone before you simply cannot recall A blur in a mist but then just nothing at all But still you insist that you had a great time And the abuse is somehow kind of benign (Bridge) Your friends turn their backs Yet you can't grasp quite why they should Still you're convinced that you're just misunderstood But then you would

Private Eye 03:50
Ten stubbed out Embassy lay scattered on the floor The silhouette behind the curtain disappeared from sight once more Listening in again Listening in again The target reappeared, this time his luck was in The microwave detector read the password as she typed it in Listening in again Listening in again (Chorus) All because of her job she spends her time in the spotlight But it's her private life where she suffers from stage fright Private Eye As she looked outside she saw the shadow move Just another aspect of her life she knows she can't remove Hiding away again Hiding away again A glimpse, a click, a flash she's failed to avoid The intrusion once again; another moment's been destroyed Hiding away again Hiding away again (Bridge) Perpetually the couple play out the game She hides, he counts up to ten, she's been discovered again It always plays out the same

You still can't believe That you'd accept the reprieve Despite the excitement of the sound That detached you from the crowd When the foliage recedes Contracting one more disease Hidden in the fog that engulfs and surrounds What was lost has now been found As you gaze At the middle of time (Chorus) Still you escape by imagining swimming back upstream Hacking down brambles and then planting the seeds Clearing out all the weeds At the top of the slide Trying to hold back the tide Letting the horse go before the plough Another shot across the bow A not so lucky escape Misused the previous shape Halfway down the path of longevity Downhill as far as you can see As you gaze At the middle of time (Bridge) And you are happy with your lot All of the effort was not for naught As you stand At the peak of the climb
6.
We met inside the institution To discuss the whole affair If we were part of the solution Then we neither were aware We talked the great and the good And the misunderstood Contemplated what we should Have begun to prepare As the evening went on longer And the beer went swiftly down The conviction swelled up stronger And our sympathies were drowned Discussed our various schemes That covered multiple themes But it was not what it seemed As we later found (Chorus) We were the leaders of the world Leaders of the world in our own heads We had created world peace Wiped out all the disease by the end But revolution was masked By the now empty glass And at the end of it all We both went home We realised the dream was over From all the money we had spent And the size of the hangover The ibuprofen couldn't mend The disappointment we felt As the memories melted Made us laugh out as well 'Cos just for a short time
7.
With the flick of a switch when the light ran away And the last scraps of daylight abandoned Instead of feeling secure inside the cozy retreat There were noises just outside on the landing When the shadows crept through the deepening gloom A twinkle through a crack fell in the middle of the room But it was not quite enough to scare the monsters away Their presence a reminder of that dark cabaret Oh no (Chorus) They kept ignoring what the little boy said There's monsters under the bed For now the Kraken awoke and with a smile on it's face Wrapped it's leathery tentacles round them With it's suckers gripped tight there was no will to fight And it pulled all the helpless towards it Looking on was a dog with huge glowing red eyes That stared at his victims till they were all hypnotised Yet no matter the pain that they were all going through Not one was prepared to shout the opposite view Oh no From the coffin he rose and with tears in his eyes He blew off the dust from around him Then the vampire proceeded to suck the well dry The ghost of emotions unfounded The shark had eloped with the invisible man But the slime had remained as the final exam Yet it all fell apart just like the mummies remains And forever and ever cycles over again Oh no
