ALL AHEAD ONE HALF

Verse 1

The neighbours, are callin' us up
They want to shut us down
We just get rollin'
The curfew comes 'round;
When it gets too late. . . to celebrate
We finally locate. . . that sound. .

Refrain:

Isn't it always, the way it runs
Move ahead two spaces
And go back one. . .

Isn't it always, the way it runs
Move ahead two spaces
And. . . go. . . back. . . one.

Verse 2

We could work harder
At playin' it straight
Take the time
To trust that state;
A spirit in need. . . but a body weak
We cast our seed. . . on stony ground. . .

Repeat Refrain

Bridge:

We could make it happen
In the early morn
Less chance we'd be chokin'
In the smoke from the joker's horn;
We'll see it through
Be forewarned
We'll be as alive as when we're born. . .
We'll be as alive as when we're born.

Verse 3:

Enthusiasm comes
A little too late for some
When we haven't got the strength
To get up off our thumbs;
By the time we've had. . . all we wanted to take
We're not able to make. . . for higher ground. .

Repeat Refrain
Ending is a slow-down of:
"And . . go. . .back. . .one."
