Is there a pattern? Is there some sort of code? It wasn't platinum if the brass underneath it showed I should have seen it The clues were under my nose I could have reached it If I stood on my tippy-toes Have I breached upon my vows? The timing is wrong; it's a bad situation The bottom's dropping out My exit is closing without explanation Is there guidance in the clouds? I'll keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through my fingers Keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through my fingers Was that a comet? or just a speck in my eye? A ketchup clean-up? or just a bloody goodbye? The road is unpaved But there's no leeway to fail Relay the message The devil is in the details Have I breached upon my vows? The timing is wrong; it's a bad situation The bottom's dropping out My exit is closing without explanation Is there guidance in the clouds? I'll keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through my fingers Keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through my fingers I lost my patience in the back row I climbed to see what's over the cliff Can't you speak to me in ancient Greek or speak in Esperanto? Do you have to speak to me in hieroglyphs? Have I breached upon my vows? The timing is wrong; it's a bad situation The bottom's dropping out My exit is closing without explanation Are there diamonds in the clouds? I guess my back's to the wall if the amulet slips through my fingers I'll keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through Keep my eyes on the prize till the amulet slips through The amulet slips through my fingers
