Never is a Long Long Time - Rick Wakeman

Nothing comes of nothing,

Never is a long, long time,

Wainting in the queue for a life to start,

It’s a waste of your time and mine.

No time like the present,

Tomorrow never comes,

An underground journey through

your mind,

Never mind, the fun’s only just begun.

Speed kills, going nowhere,

Fast life, in a meltdown,

Spaceman, in the fast lane,

Never is the right time.

Head down, 'til we’re certain, showdown,

Just a maze of secrets left unanswered,

Never is a long, long time.

Find the answer, ask the question,

Pay the price, then count the cost,

Take the prize and never finish,

Life is won, life is lost.

Free yourself from independence,

Give Big Brother all control,

Look around, obey the sign,

Ever-falling to the place of retribution,

Never-ending journey, finding

reasons to be free.

Free from questions, giving answers,

Count the cost then pay the price.

Never is a long, long time,

Ever-moving downward, sign of time

decreasing,

Everlasting movement, to the centre

of the earth.

Never is a long, long,

Never is a long, long …

Welcome to the longest journey,

To a place you’ll never, ever go.

Welcome to a theme that doesn’t

have a park,

Without a life, a place without a home.

Hear the voice of freedom,

Singing the eternal line,

Looking for a sixth dimension,

Never is a long, long time.

Speed kills, going nowhere,

Fast life in a meltdown,

Spaceman, in the fast lane,

Never is the right time.

Head down, 'til we’re certain, showdown,

Just a maze of secrets left unanswered,

Never is a long, long time.

Find the answer, ask the question,

Pay the price, then count the cost,

Take the prize and never finish,

Life is won, all is lost.

Free yourself from independence,

Give Big Brother all control,

Look around, obey the sign,

Ever-moving downward, sign of time

decreasing,

Everlasting movement, to the centre

of the earth.

Never is a long time,

Never is a long time,

Never is a long, long time.
