THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF HERE (Baker)

​

There's no way out of here 
When you come in
you're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
So get it right
There's no way out of here
When you come in
you're in for good
There never was an answer
There is an answer
Not without listening
without seeing
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
you're in for good
There never was an answer
There is an answer
Not without listening
without seeing
There's no way out of here
When you come in
you're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
you're in for good
There's no way out of here
When you come in
you're in for good
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good.

​

There's no way out of here
When you get in
you enter for good
no promises made
The part that you play
The chance you take

There are no fixed borders
time and still
you still lose it

So it slips through your hands
like grains of sand
you see him go
There is no time to lose
you will pay the cost
so take it good
There's no way out of here

When you get in
you enter for good

There was never an answer
An answer
Without listening

Without seeing

there is no answer
when you look outside
you don't see inside
no promises made
The part that you play
The chance you take

When you get in
you enter for good

There was never an answer
An answer
Without listening
Without seeing

There's no way out of here
When you get in
you enter for good

no answers here
when you look outside
you don't see inside
no promises made
The part that you play
The chance - what do you take

There's no way out of here

When you get in
you enter for good
There's no way out of here
When you get in
you enter for good
no answers here
when you look away
you don't see inside
There's no way out of here
When you get in

You enter for good.

CRY FROM THE STREET (Gilmour, Stuart)

​

Black shadows dance 
Beyond the neon glow
There's rumors in your head
And just one way to go
oh so tight
It makes your blood run cold
The way is blind
Try to save your soul
Don't even pray
just cry from the street
It's fine as you leave
The one they keep at home
So you love someone
That you thought you owed
You know it's a crime
But what can you do?
That's the price you pay
With each turn of the screw
But don't pay no mind
just cry from the street
you really love the night
Even though you're alone
It's such a cryin' shame
That things are so wrong
It's the sign of the scream
That blinds your feet
I guess the chance is ours
You wish to stay and sleep
But don't even pray
Just cry from the street.

​

black shadows dance
Beyond the neon glow
There are rumors in your head
And you don't let them go
you hold them so tight
They make your blood run cold
the way is hidden
try to save your soul
don't even beg
just shout in the street

It's alright how you leave it
The one they keep at home
so you love someone
What do you think you should do?
You know it's a crime

What can you do?
That's the price you pay
With every turn of the screw
But you don't pay no mind
They're just screams from the street

you really love the night

You even think you're alone
It's like a shameful cry
those things are wrong
It is the signal of the cry
that blinds his feet
I guess the chance is ours
You want to stay and sleep
But don't even beg
Just shout in the street.

SO FAR AWAY (Gilmour)

​

What am I suspended here? 
Should I kid myself that I have no fear?
I get no choice, I just have to wait
It may already be too late
I don't know what's going on
She is here, but I am gone
I am gone
My love is lying here
She's far away though she looks so near
"Time will tell" she says to me
When a warm coat is all I need
Her peace of mind, her strength of will
It will come she's sure it will
And how can I put my mind at rest?
I feel I'm coming up second best
And I'm caught with my own life
Is this a dream, or is it real life?
Oooh sleep, come on me soon
I can't bear this lonely room
Look at that hand lying there
The room is dark she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive
I'm still awake against my will
What will it ever take
To still this burning in me?
And I'm caught with my own life
Is this a dream, or is it real life?
Ooooh, sleep, come on me soon
I can't bear this lonely room
Sleep, come on me soon
I can't bear this lonely room
Sleep, don't take too long
Can't keep singing this lonely song.

​

Why am I suspended here?
Should I kid myself because I don't have any fear?
I have no choice, I just have to wait for her
It may already be too late
I don't know what is happening
She's here but I'm gone
I've gone

My love is lying here
She is far away though she looks closely
"Time will tell" she tells me
When a warm blanket is all I need
His peace of mind, his willpower
She'll come when she's sure she can
And how can I put my mind at rest?

I feel like I'm becoming second best

And I'm stuck with my own life
Is it a dream, or is it real life?
Ooooh sleep, come to me soon
I can't stand this lonely room

Look at that lying hand there
The room is dark, she shows no fear

I'm still lying, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive
I'm still awake against my will
What will he always carry still this burning in me?

that will take you
To keep me burning?

And I'm stuck with my own life
Is it a dream, or is it real life?
Ooooh sleep, come to me soon
I can't stand this lonely room
sleep, come to me soon
I can't stand this lonely room
sleep, come to me soon
I can't stand this lonely room
Oooh sleep, don't take so long
I can't keep singing this lonely room.

SHORT AND SWEET (Gilmour, Harper)

​

You ask 
What is the quality
Of life?
Seeking to justify the part you play
and hide
Fearing it incomplete
To try
To make it any more or less than short and sweet
but short
Short is from you to me
as close
As we are wont to try to make it be
We're caught
Watching the dark in the sky
Who knows?
Helpless it's time and self to hold the time of day
Y Tu
you are a fantasy
A view
From where you'd like to think the world should see
Be true
And you will likely find
A few
Building a new vision and justice to our time
and we
We the immoral men
we will
Naked and fearless in the elements
And free
Carefree of tempting fate
Aware
And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates
and sweet
Sweet as a mountain stream
We'll look
Toward a new day breaking in the east
and meet
As every future dream
Unfolds
And surely quality that is the very least.

​

You ask
what is quality
of life?
Trying to justify the piece you play
and hide
Fearing her incomplete
For try
Make it more or less than short and smooth

but short
short is you to me
So close
As we are we will not try to do it
we are subject
Looking at the darkening sky
Who knows?
Helpless as time itself to keep the time of day

And you
you are a fantasy
A look
From where you like to think the world should see

be true
And finally you will find
Some
Building a new and just vision for our era

And we
immoral men
we dare
Naked and unafraid of the elements
and free
Carefree of the tempting Faith
attentive
And keeping out the gates the moral nightmare

And soft
Smooth as a floating mountain
we will look
To a new day breaking in the east
we will find
As future soils
They reveal themselves
And surely the quality that there is is much lower.

RAISE MY RENT (Gilmour)

​

Instrumental

​

​

NO WAY (Gilmour)

​

There's no way 
I'm gonna let go
There's no way
Because it's my show
I'm hangin' on
for a little while
I won't go down easy
That's not my style
I'm all tied up
Tied up in a knot
And I can't decide
Just what is I've got
Did I get out of touch
Did I lose my way
I've not forgotten
No, not a single day
Now you might believe
I'm not a happy man
Putting myself apart
From the common clan
What a boat we're sailing
We had a week or two
But I know it sounds
like me and you
so there's no way
I'm gonna let go
There's no way
Because it's my show
I'm hangin' on
for a little while
I won't go down easy
That's not my style.

​

There is no way
I'm going to let it go
There is no way
this is my demo
i am suspended
For a while
I won't go down easy
Is not my style

i'm all tied up
tied in a knot
and i can't decide
Even what I have
Lost touch?
Lost my way?
I won't forget
not a single day

Now you must believe
I'm not a happy man
putting myself apart
Of the common clan
Well, it's the ship that we sail

We got a leak or two
Well, I know how they sound

Like you and me

so there's no way
I'm going to let it go
There is no way
this is my demo
i am suspended
For a while
I won't go down easy
Is not my style.

​

I CAN'T BREATHE ANYMORE (Gilmour)

​

I can't breathe anymore 
Why that is I'm not sure
I've got my feet on the ground
In fact I'm flat on the floor
My direction is lost
I should pause to take stock
It's a new one on me
To even dream that you're free
It's a tale without an end
But the end is there for all to see
And if the end weren't so real
Coming around and 'round again on me
I guess it's all about my pride
I want to be there if it kills
But with or without God on my side
I know that I really will.

​

I can't breathe anymore
Why is that so, I'm not sure
I have my feet on the ground
And indeed I'm pinned to the floor
my address is lost
I must stop to stock up

there is a new being in me
To even dream that you are free

It's an endless tale
But the end is there to see
And if the end wasn't real
come around and around me
I guess it's all because of my pride
I want to be there if it kills
And with God on my side or not

I know that I will really be.
