Around we walk the wall of life, every step will have it’s price
Every day got somethin’ new to say, get it out before it blows away
Reach the top and come back down, but up and down is round and round
In the distance there’s a better way, but high up here it’s just too far away
Still we walk the wall of life, and round the maze we go like mice..
So break these walls and get me outta here,
cos I just knew there had to be a way to get us outta here..
Plant a little seed and let it grow, you only have a lifetime yet to go
All your dreams can be your destiny, cos nothin’ is impossible to me
Tickin’ the hours, tickin’ the days,
Time goes on and everyone says, nothin’ at all, nothing’ at all
Wakin’ up to find a different world, wasn’t as expected or as told
In the life I’m learning every day, cannot speak but everything to say
When I get older I’m gonna be an astrobot, tickin’ days and tickin’ years
it’s not as easy as I thought
Somethin’ always blocks the way, not easy to take away
Will we ever have our day, there must be another way
I look up to the heavens with my arms stretched out but you’re not there
Where are you I’m searchin’ everywhere
Never thought you’d fade away, but even though I can’t explain
Somethin’ makes me feel this way, what else do I have to say..
Liberate me, you did make me, you must be the, one to save me
Still I climb to find the final step, countin’ steps to see how many’s left
Why is there no magic I used to believe inside of you
All our dreams are getting’ torn in two
Are you gonna look this way, Are you even there today,
It’s time to throw the rules away, are you even listenin anyway
Tickin’ the hours, tickin’ the days, time goes on and, everyone says
Nobody says, Nothing at all..
When I get older I’m gonna be an astrobot
But time is tickin’ faster than I thought
Something always blocks the way, not easy to take away
But no more will it stand’n my way, cos now I’m gonna have my say
Time is tickin’ like a bomb inside you
Always beating slower but it’s tickin’ faster
That’s how it deceives you cos it never leaves you
Till you’re reachin’ the end, and then it pretends when you
still haven’t said the things in your head it takes you away..
and that was your life…

I just kept expecting to hear Peter Gabriel's voice. What an absolutely delightful album - a perfect piece of 70s progressive rock in a light Genesis style. Peter Jones
