Open the shade…
Let your troubles fade
[Instrumental, Bass, Bass Drum, Vibraphone]
[Verse 1]
I’m always lookin’ (looking for a better way)
I’m always lookin’ (looking for a better day)
I’m always lookin’ for some kind of a miracle
(Spectacular)
[Verse 2]
There’s always, an easy way out
You don’t have to kick and shout
There’s always, an easy way out
You don’t have to shout (no doubt)
[Chorus]
There’s an easier way,
To get through the same old in each day.
All ya hafta do,
To let it through,
Is open the shade.
[Bridge]
Open the shade…
Let your troubles fade
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
It’s a beautiful day,
No clouds are commin’ our way.
The sun’s gonna shine. (shine fine)
The sun’s gonna shine. (Oh so fine)
Into your heart… and soul (let it roll)
[Bridge]
Each and every…
… way
Each and every…
… day
There’s got to be a better way.
[Chorus]
There’s an easier way,
To get through the same old in each day.
All ya have to do,
To let it through,
Is open the shade.
(Have it made)
[Outro]
Open the shade…
Let your troubles fade

[Verse 1]
Do you think the story has never been told?
Do ya think it’s gettin’ … gettin’ too old?
Though, I’ll tell you this:
They’ve messed with it, a bit.
[Chorus]
Take birth for what it’s worth.
Don’t add your two cents, if you will?
I’ve got my Freewill.
Let me exercise my judgment.
[Bridge]
You don’t have to squash the moment.
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
You’ve been down that road before.
Ya say ya don’t want to hear it (no more!)
And, there ya go again. You do it (do it yourself)
Try to take the worth of birth
[Chorus]
Take birth for what it’s worth.
Don’t add your two cents, if you will?
I’ve got my Freewill.
Let me exercise my judgment.
[Bridge]
You don’t have to squash the moment.
[Instrumental, Bass, Organ]
[Verse 3]
Are you the guardian angel of love?
Or, are you the angel of lust?
I suppose nothing is forever…
In fact, that’s where it’s at?
[Chorus]
Take birth for what it’s worth.
Don’t add your two cents, if you will?
I’ve got my Freewill.
Let me exercise my judgment.
[Bridge]
You don’t have to squash the moment.
[Outro]
Do you think the story has never been told?
Do ya think it’s gettin’ … gettin’ too old?

Stop!
It’s a cop!
[Verse 1]
The weight of the system is bearing down “I am” (Attack)
And, if you ask me, they can take it all back (Back)
I worked so hard to get a say (Say, say)
And, now they want to take it away (all away)
And, I’ve only got one thing to say
[Break]
NO WAY!
[Bridge]
No way…
[Chorus]
You ain’t takin’ my pride away (no way)
One thing I can tell you for sure (no more)
You can take a whole lot more (no more)
But, you ain’t gonna… you ain’t gonna…
(Oh, no, oh, no)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
The weight of the world is bearing down I’m told (Bold)
And, if you ask me, they can take it all back (Back)
I worked so hard to find a way (away)
And, now they want to take it away (all away)
But, I’ve got one thing left to say
[Break]
NO WAY!
[Bridge]
No way…
[Chorus]
You ain’t takin’ my pride away (no way)
One thing I can tell you for sure (no more)
You can take a whole lot more (no more)
But, you ain’t gonna… you ain’t gonna…
(Oh, no, oh, no)

Pull over
Are you knowing
How fast you’re going?

What do you think we might
Find in the labyrinth tonight?
[Instrumental, Acoustic Guitar, Upright Bass]
[Verse 1]
The water’s slowly spinning round and round
Heading, heading ever, forever down
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
[Bridge]
Quite, right in. Quite, right in
(not quite yet)
[Chorus]
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to figure out about….
The labyrinth (the labyrinth)
[Instrumental, Piano Solo, Upright Bass]
[Verse 2]
What are you afraid of in the labyrinth?
(Can you give me a hint)
Under my bed (In my head)
Bad guys (In disguise)
My brain and the drain
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
[Bridge]
Quite, right in. Quite, right in
(not quite yet)
[Chorus]
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to figure out about….
The labyrinth (the labyrinth)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Upright Bass]
[Verse 3]
But, I know that if we try
(Try to use our mind’s eye)
We can make the walls come,
Tubmlin’ down (down, down, down)
[Bridge]
(Walls all around.)
Walls of the labyrinth come tumblin’ down.
Walls come tumbling down.
The walls come tumbling down,
all around… (all around…) all around… (all around.)
[Outro]
The water’s slowly spinning round and round
Heading, heading ever, forever down
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in
Not quite yet

It’s like I’m looking down a real long hall…
There’s your car in the middle of the tracks,
Sittin’ stalled.
(Facts)
[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]
I’ve got a thing I’ve gotta get through.
Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.
It’s got something to do with you (and, me, too)
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]
[Verse]
There you sit.
Your car’s at a stall …
Engine Number 9,
is coming down the line.
[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]
I’ve got a thing I’ve gotta get through.
Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.
It’s got something to do with you (and, me, too)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
Here’s your car in the middle of the tracks…
Sittin’ stalled
Just like a tin of a beer can,
You’re gonna be crushed to a hush.
[Bridge]
Transition metamorphosisizes me.
Something’s comin’ to be … inside of me.
I don’t know if I’m liken’ it much.
… will ya be my crutch
[Break]
[Chorus]

Maybe it’s got something to do with you?
We’ve got a thing we’ve gotta get through.

Has been put outta place.

And, give your heart
An attack
Let a splinter of light
Pierce that black of night
… and, give you second sight?

LYRICS
May my soul soar
Above the Labyrinth’s floor
Flying high above
Spying the tunnel of love
Swoop down from above
Into the tunnel of love
With a bird’s-eye view
Can see exactly what to do
Flying high above
Spotting the tunnel of love
Never tire of lifting the spirit higher
From the sole soul
To the dynamic dual
Like hand in glove
Partners in love
