The Alan Parson's project - The Turn Of A Friendly Card
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains And a wheel in perpetual motion And they follow the races and pay out the gains With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier For God knows up till now it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise And not all the king's horses and all the king's men Have prevented the fall of the unwise
And they think it will make their lives easier For God knows up till now it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine As he enters inside the cathedral...
The Turn of a Friendly Card (Part 2)
Lead vocal--Chris Rainbow
There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains On a wheel in perpetual motion Who belong to all races and answer all names With no show of an outward emotion
And they think it will make their lives easier But the doorway before them is barred And the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card
