And on the road, Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge, She battled through Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds. But now everytime that she performed Oh everybody cried for more, Soon all she had to do was step into the light, For everyone to start to roar. And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for. Oh but time went by It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong. Yes times were hard, Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want. And then there was the time that she performed When nobody called for more And soon everytime she stepped into the light, They really let her know the score. But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs And everybody cried for more, When all she had to do was step into the light For everyone to start to roar. And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for. ____________________________________________________________ Guide Vocal I am the one who guided you this far, All you know and all you feel. Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand, And you kill what you fear. I call you for I must leave, You're on your own until the end. There was a choice but now it's gone, I said you wouldn't understand, Take what's yours and be damned. ____________________________________________________________ Turn It On Again (ONE TWO THREE FOUR) All I need is a TV show, that and the radio Down on my luck again, down on my luck again I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I,I.I,I,I!... You're just another face that I know from the TV show I have known you for so very long I feel you like a friend Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while Can I meet you on another day and we will fly away I can show you I can show you!, some of the people in my life I can show you I can show you!, some of the people in my life It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I,I. I,I,I!... Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again (I can see another face) (fades out) ____________________________________________________________ Duke's Travels I am the one who guided you this far, All you know and all you feel. Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand, And you kill what you fear, And you fear what you don't understand. I call you for I must leave, You're on your own until the end. There was a choice but now it's gone, I said you wouldn't understand, Take what's yours and be damned. ____________________________________________________________ Duke's End (Instrumental)
