lyrics

YOU CALL ME I CALL YOU
BUT NOTHING COMES OF IT
I GUESS WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
I HATE TO THINK SOMETHING'S WRONG
BUT I KNOW THINGS AIN'T RIGHT
LOVE HAS LEFT FROM THESE SHORES
I SAY NO NEED TO FALL APART
THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM
BUT THE MAN WITH THE BLIND EYE SAYS
HEY LOOK TOWARDS THE CLOUDS
THUNDERBIRD WILL BREAK ACROSS THE DARKNESS
AND COME DOWN FOR YOUR MIND
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR

WE USED TO LOOK AHEAD
NOW WE JUST LOOK AWAY
FOR FEAR THE TRUTH BE REVEALED
THE MIRROR CANNOT LIE
BUT THE WILL THAT BENDS THE LIGHT
KNOWS HOW TO CASH ON DECEIT
BUT DO I REALLY CARE
WHEN NO-ONE IS TO BLAME
YET THE MAN WITH THE BLIND EYE SAYS
HEY JOE LOOK WHERE YOU HAVE GONE
THUNDERBIRD WILL SEARCH FOR YOU
AND MAKE YOU FACE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR

NO NEED FOR WORRIES
FOR THERE'S MUCH TO THINK ABOUT
THOUGH I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS CIRCLE
MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO KNOW
COMES THE TIME I MIGHT ALTER THE COURSE
AND GO ON WITH THE FLOW
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR
