The alan parson project take the money and run lyrics

Stuart Elliot vocal



Ask yourself a question now there's a multiple choice

"You've only one shot, get it right", says a distance voice

Don't get your head into a spin

If only you could see the mess you're in

The enemy is closing in see the white of his eye

He's taking in his prey in sight it's just a matter of time

May the games begin the best man win

If only you could see the mess you're in



Is it the pride in you that wont let go

Is it the fool that wont let it show



Free yourself

If only you could see yourself

If you could see yourself



And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down

You know there is the only place to go

And when you've had enough of fighting 

And every mean trick under the sun

But still you fear the worst is yet to come

Take the money and run



Countthe bottles one by one as the fall to the ground

Search your mind your heart your soul until the answer is found

But watch your step the ice is thin

If only you could see the mess you're in



The man in black looks down on you the insignificant one

To be or not if all so true the deal is almost done

It matters not you're lost to him

If only you could see the mess you're in



Is it the pride in you that wont let go

Is it the fool that wont let it show?



Free yourself

If only you could see yourself

If you could see yourself



And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down

You know it is the only place to go

And when you've had enough of fighting 

And every mean trick under the sun

But still you fear the worst is yet to come

Take the money and run
