Alan Parsons: "Take The Money And Run"

	Alan Parsons
	Take The Money And Run

Written by Stuart Elliott and Andrew Powell

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 aim, 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 only you could see yourself.

When the heavens opened up,

And the walls come tumbling down

And nowhere is the only place to go

When you've had enough of fighting

And every mean trick under the sun

And still you fear the worst is yet to come

Take the money and run.

Count the bottles one by one as they fall to the ground

Search your mind, your heart, your soul 'til the answers 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 false or true, the deed is almost done

It matters not your loss to him

If only you could see the mess you're in.

Chorus

Take the money and run.
