1 GAUDI The Alan Parsons Project All lyrics by Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons Woolfsongs Ltd / Careers Music, Inc. LA SAGRADA FAMILIA In recent times there is noone who could approach, at all, to Antonio Gaudí. He started a new cathedral, in Barcelona, it is called the Sagrada Familia, or Holy Family. And the sad thing is they could try to finish it, but I don't think they ever can do it. Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say Who knows if we ll meet along the way Follow the brightest star as far as the brave may dare What will we find when we get there La Sagrada Familia we pray the storm will soon be over La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb Who knows where the winds may blow us, only a fool would say Who knows if we ll ever reach the shore Follow a rising sun with eyes that may only stare What kind of fire will burn us there? What kind of fire? Only a fool would say La Sagrada Familia the wind has changed the storm is over La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb La Sagrada Familia we thank the lord the danger s over La Sagrada Familia there s peace throughout the land Under clear blue skies our voices rise in songs of glory And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears Filled with tears Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say Who knows what the fates may have in store Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see How should we know where that may be? (Where that may be?) How should we know? (How should we know?) 1

2 Then the angry skies, the battle cries, the sounds of glory And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears Filled with tears Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say Who knows what s been lost along the way Look for the promised land in all of the dreams we share How will we know (How will we know?) when we are there? (When we are there?) How will we know? (How will we know?) Only a fool would say La Sagrada Familia the war is won the battle s over La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb La Sagrada Familia we thank the lord the danger s over La Sagrada Familia behold the mighty hand La Sagrada Familia the night is gone the waiting s over La Sagrada Familia there s peace throughout the land Until the next time Until the next time La Sagrada Familia 2

3 TOO LATE When you were standing in the rain, I gave you shelter When I was knocking on your door, you gave me none Well I don t make that kind of deal with anybody And I won t be that kind of fool for anyone How do you feel when the tables have been turned? What will you do now the bridges have been burned? Cause it s too late now the magic s lost Too late now the spell is broken Too late now to count the cost Of words that should remain unspoken When I need you by my side you stand above me And when I look into your eyes you turn away Well if that s the best there is then I won t buy it And if that s the only game then I won t play How many danger signs did you ignore? How many times have you heard it all before? Cause it s too late now the magic s lost Too late now the spell is broken Too late now to count the cost Of words that should remain unspoken Cause it s too late now the magic s lost Too late now the spell is broken Too late now to count the cost Of words that should remain unspoken Too late now the magic s lost Too late now the spell is broken Too late now to count the cost Too late It's just too late 3

4 CLOSER TO HEAVEN Rising and falling lighter than air Silently calling no one is there Oh, bird that is flying so high and so free Closer to heaven than you and me Voices of strangers keep me from sleep Guardian angels watch over the deep A ship that is sailing way out to the sea Closer to heaven than you and me Visions of rain fall out of blue skies Rivers of tears flow out of dry eyes Answer my question tell me no lies Is this the real world or a fool s paradise? Wind that is blowing so wild and so free Closer to heaven than you and me Closer to heaven longing to be Closer to heaven than you and me Visions of rain fall out of blue skies Rivers of tears flow out of dry eyes Answer my question tell me no lies Is this the real world or a fool s paradise? Love that lies sleeping wakes in the night Secrets for keeping that won t see the light I look to the future and I hope it will be Closer to heaven than you and me Closer to heaven longing to be Closer to heaven than you and me Closer to heaven than you and me 4

5 STANDING ON HIGHER GROUND I know the truth But I can't say And I have to turn my head And look the other way I'm not afraid And I won't lie As long as I see no wrong I won't need to testify I see the world And I'm looking from a high place Standing on higher ground I breathe the air While they're running in a rat race Standing on higher ground I feel the blow But I don't speak And I have to close my eyes Pretending I'm asleep Well I see the tears But I don't cry As long as I do no wrong I don't need an alibi I see the world And I'm looking from a high place Standing on higher ground I breathe the air While they're running in a rat race Standing on higher ground 5

6 Oh you are Standing on a higher ground Now you are Standing on a higher ground I see the world (I see the world) And I'm looking from a high place (looking from a high place) (way above it all) Standing on higher ground () I breathe the air (I breathe the air) While they're running in a rat race (running in a rat race) (way above it all) Standing on higher ground () I see the world 6

7 MONEY TALKS Money don t grow on a money tree The more you take leave the less for me Money don t buy what you really need It make an iceman cry, it make a stone man bleed But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are It rules your life like a virgin queen One day you might get over it, but in the meantime It rules the world like a green machine In the bank, in a box, money talks In the black, on the rocks, money talks Money talks Money don t lose in the money game It drags you down like a ball and chain (like a ball and chain) So money don t come with a guarantee It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me (make a fool of me) But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say It ties you down but it can set you free Some day you might get over it, but in the meantime It burns you up in the first degree Moscow, Bangkok, money talk Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin One day you might get over it but everybody knows It s heads you lose and it s tails they win Don t have too much to show for it, that s the way it goes You roll the dice and they cash you in Pinball, jukebox, money talks Redskins, White Sox, money talks Billboard, Cashbox, money talks 7

8 INSIDE LOOKING OUT To touch the sky A dreamer must be Someone who has more imagination than me To reach the stars A dreamer must fly Somehow he must live more of a lifetime than I For sands of time won t wait And it may be too late Now is the hour and the moment Don t let the chance go by Your ship is sailing with the high tide And all your dreams are on the inside On the inside looking out, on the inside looking out Looking out, looking out, looking out, looking out To change the world A dreamer must be Someone who has more determination than me To free his soul A dreamer must fly Somewhere he must find a better reason than I The hands of time won t wait And we may be too late Now is the hour and the moment Don t let a day pass by Your ship is sailing with the high tide You could be standing on the inside On the inside looking out, on the inside looking out On the inside looking out, on the inside looking out Looking out, looking out, looking out, looking out Looking out PASEO DE GRACIA (Instrumental) 8
