And feels his master's voice I'm gonna drop this world I'm tired... and I'm blamed Only a few will survive Escaping from the rain Build up a ship... on a hill Three will be on your side Pick... up a pair of all kinds And then you'll start the ride of hope Blistering winds tell no fairy tales Screaming, howling, calling your name Chorus 1: The power of your life is here to carry on The toughness and ability, the faith is keeping strong And we will carry on Push by his faith He's heading for that deal In spite of all disdain... He's making it for real High in the skies... The ark... built in blood Insanity's ruling the world Drowning in the flood Who will be who on this trip Love is a sip - of simply privation Over the land, sea and skies... he's searching and tries to save every creature in the world Blistering winds tell no fairy tales Screaming, howling, calling your name Chorus Deep in the night... he's standing at the rail Awaiting the light... that leads him to a trail A million voices... rent the silent air And in the dawn... they're marching for their care Chorus 2: The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah (2) The animals went in two by two, the wasp, the ant, and the kangaroo... And they all went into the ark for to get out of the rain (2) Chorus 2 Deep in the jungle... nobody cares Easy to fight, nothing to share Always abused... and struggling for life But here in this place... there's nothing to hide Rain, rain, rain - Lost soul in a lost horizon Rain, rain, rain - Set me free Rain, rain, rain - The fear... of the darkness Rain, rain, rain - Show us the way (Spoken): Suddenly a place appears behind the walls of water The wind calms down, the curtain of all fears is falling White dove is flying around the sky Is this a heavenly sign? And now all are safe Do they... commit a crime? The sun breaks his eyes His mind is looking for clues What happened in the night? Who made the nightmare rules? He walks down the lane Heading for places he's been Is this reality... Or a dream within a dream? Dreams have been tricking your soul You play a role... That somebody's taking to your mind Don't look behind, you slam the door And keep out the sandman in your brain Blistering winds tell no fairytales Screaming, howling, calling your name The power of your life is here to carry on The toughness and ability, the faith is keeping strong Chorus 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us (Ron Mael / Rusell C. Mael) 3:09 (from Sparks "..." (19..)) Zoo time, is she and you time The mammals are your favorite type and you want her tonight Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers Chorus 1: This town ain't big enough for the both of us But it ain't me who's gonna leave Flying, domestic flying And when the stewardess is near, don't you show any fear Heartbeat, increasign heartbeat You are a khaki-colored bombardier, it's Hiroshima that you're nearing Chorus 2: This town ain't big enough for the both of us But it ain't me who's gonna leave Ha!
