and the road goes on

here

i can hear a pin drop

silence is my friend

have not found a helping hand

and i

i can paint in gloomy colors that will stain

but will one of them remain

we are searching for the answers

always take a bearing on

we're dancing 'round the golden calf until the crack of dawn

the limelights fade away

on this revolting stage of our dreams

we're just about to leave the scene

though we're still in between

on the chessboard square of life

the pawn

so tell me where the road goes on

i

i'll be waiting for a long decisive turn

when remoteness makes me yearn

and i

i'm clutching at a straw

i'm left out in the cold

ain't there no one to uphold

we are searching for the answers

always take a bearing on

we're dancing 'round the golden calf until the crack of dawn

the limelights fade away

on this revolting stage of our dreams

we're just about to leave the scene

though we're still in between

on the chessboard square of life

the pawn

so tell me where the road goes on

it's my tinge of blue

it's my superstition that blocks my machine

a slip of the memory is less what we feel

with senses so keen

it's striking my eye

it is the balancing-pole in my hand

have trust in the thin rope that's under your feet

and you'll understand

when pushed to the wall

i will stand firm and follow my way

cause i'm pressed for time and i keep an eye on

before i will stay

shrouded in darkness

my heart is tired i'm racking my brain

and with the crack of a whip i break out

and break the chain

now

pull all the stops you can

hold on to your master plan

this peal of thunder will roar

find all the answers wherefore

one pious wish under the moon

only a fair wind to heave the balloon

when all seems in vain and bygone

then the road goes on
