They’re coming back from far away  
They’re coming back, they cannot stay  
So I will pray to purify my mind

Wash my sins away  
Take my sorrow and pain  
Wash my sins away  
Dry my tears with your rain

Scars from yesterday  
Make my sins  
Oh, please wash them away

Dry your eyes mate  
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up  
There’s plenty more fish in the sea  
Dry your eyes mate  
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts  
But you’ve got to walk away now  
It’s over

There’s a new me coming out  
And I just had to live  
And I wanna give  
I’m completely positive  
I think this time around  
I am gonna do it  
Like you never knew it  
Ooh, I’ll make it through

I made it through the rain  
I kept my world protected  
I made it through the rain  
I kept my point of view  
I made it through the rain

And found myself respected  
By the others who  
Got rained on too  
And made it through

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now  
We’re on the move (oh yes we are, yeah yeah)  
(Don’t want to stop, please don’t make me stop)  
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (yeah)  
We’ve got the groove (ooh-ooh, come on rhyme with me)  
(Don’t wanna stop, please don’t make me stop)  
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now  
We’re on the move

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.  
Sclemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.  
We’re gonna do it!

Give us any chance, we’ll take it.  
Give us any rule, we’ll break it.  
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.  
Doin’ it our way.

Nothin’s gonna turn us back now,  
Straight ahead and on the track now.  
We’re gonna make our dreams come true,  
Doin’ it our way.

Chances are you’ll go far  
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows  
People see you having fun  
Just a-lying in the sun  
Tell them that you like it this way  
It’s the work that we avoid  
And we’re all self-employed  
We love to work at nothing all day

I’m busy doing nothing,  
Nothing the whole day through,  
Trying to find lots of things not to do.  
I’m busy going nowhere,  
Isn’t it just a crime?  
I’d like to be unhappy  
But I really don’t have the time.

Doesn’t have a point of view,  
Knows not where he’s going to,  
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?  
Nowhere Man please listen,  
you don’t know what you’re missing  
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command!

A greyhound who had lots of speed was surely bound to fail  
For morning, noon and evening, he’d be chasing his own tail  
He was running around in circles  
Running around in circles getting nowhere

A squirrel in a treadmill cage, around and 'round he’d go  
You’d think that he’d be in a rage, but seems he didn’t know  
He was running around in circles  
Running around in circles getting nowhere

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,  
Lo, it’s all so true,  
They told me, “Don’t go walkin’ slow  
The Devil’s on the loose.”

Better run through the jungle,  
Better run through the jungle,  
Better run through the jungle,  
Whoa, Don’t look back to see.

[Step off the train all alone at dawn](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sCzjGYnens)  
Back into the hole where I was born  
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me  
The blood on the trax and must be mine  
The fool on the hill and I feel fine  
Don’t look back 'cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind’s eye  
I think I know, but I don’t know why  
The questions are the answers you might need  
Coming in a mess going out in style  
I ain’t good-looking but I’m someone’s child  
No-one can give me the air that’s mine to breathe

I met my maker  
I made her cry  
And on my shoulder she asked me why  
Her people won’t fly through the storm  
I said “Listen up girl, they don’t even know you’re born”

Tell all your friends a long farewell  
And get your business right–  
The little black train is rolling in  
To call for you tonight.

We saw light at the end of the tunnel  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel  
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel  
So let the water boil - goodbye to oil  
At the end of the tunnel there’s a light.  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)  
When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)  
We saw light at the end of the tunnel (we see the light)

Me and the puzzled travelers  
We searched the ground for wealth  
And scoured the dreaming valleys  
On days where shadows melt

Digging for the blue and the green  
[Constant in opal](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5J38UP3SM0) or ultramarine  
But you could only find yourself that way

A bare winding carcass, stark  
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way  
Dry tears  
Crisp flax squeaks tall reeds  
Make a circle of gray in a summer way, around man  
Stood on ground

Yes, Love and I started a circle to spin  
Oh Love and I  
We drew a circle, a beautiful circle  
A wonderful circle that took him in

I feel the waves begin to rise  
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes  
Silently watching as they fall  
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball

Strike up the lightning, hear my prayer  
Feel the light electric dancing through the air  
Here by the ancient castle walls  
Can you see the future locked within the crystal ball

Here in the spotlight this moment is ours  
No one can stop us, we’re one with the stars
