The further that we went we found our maps were strangely lacking Where they should have led a gaping hole instead With our telescopes and computers we were out there seeking Finally there's hope some light is being shed I feel we're on the edge The mystery's begun to shatter Discovering instead Shake up the theories and Find Ways to Matter Blind alleys we've stumbled down New insights might require some review To see the invisible There's a lot first to see through... I feel we're on the edge The mystery's begun to shatter Discovering instead Shake up the theories and Find Ways to Matter

Palm trees stand by the mall My iron bars, my prison yard Blue ocean fills the view The walls keeping me safe so far Another Day in Paradise Everyone says it's so nice Another Day in Paradise... Frogs whistle, crickets chirp So loud all night around my hut Grey morning, sudden rain Pours down and then the sun is up Another Day in Paradise Everyone says it's so nice Another Day in Paradise... Sold on the sun & surf The loneliest place on earth I heard good things but there you go... Bikini-clad bores abound Toasting their two surfboard town And me so tightly wound... Another Day in Paradise Everyone says it's so nice Another Day in Paradise... Another Day in Paradise Another Day in Paradise Another Day in Paradise...

Happy Families Is Mrs. Smuts at home or out with Mr. Executive? He's left the wife alone with a story but she reckons there's a twist... If he would stop his flirting & love the one he's hurting: That's a big if for Mr. & Mrs. Executive And they're playing Happy Families again... And at the dinner party the royal couple are a team again She thinks they could be happy they could be playing to win again... If he would stop his flirting & love the one he's hurting: That's a big if for Mr. & Mrs. Executive And they're playing Happy Families again... And later in the town he's dealt another wild card He tries to play it straight but the temptation makes it hard Betting against the house but the house suspects He's going too far...

Inflexible Flyer, always goes in a straight line. Inflexible Flyer, no detours or over-rides No delays taking your time on this flight... There's other planes here in the sky and other routes and landing sites - open your eyes... See softer landings come to you, see from a different point of view - Cos the kids have all been calling you... Inflexible Flyer, always goes in a straight line. Inflexible Flyer, no detours or over-rides No delays taking your time on this flight... Tower to Flyer: I know what I'm doing You're flying too low: I know what I'm doing Tower to Flyer: I know what I'm doing Think of those you inadvertently buzz Fall-out fear from above... Inflexible Flyer, always goes in a straight line. Inflexible Flyer, no detours or over-rides No delays taking your time on this flight... On this flight On this flight
