Take The Money & Run Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Stuart elliot vocal 

Ask yourself a question now there's a multiple choice 

"you've only one shot, get it right", says a distance voice 

Don't get your head into a spin 

If only you could see the mess you're in 

The enemy is closing in see the white of his eye 

He's taking in his prey in sight it's just a matter of time 

May the games begin the best man win 

If only you could see the mess you're in 

Is it the pride in you that wont let go 

Is it the fool that wont let it show 

Free yourself 

If only you could see yourself 

If you could see yourself 

And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down 

You know there is the only place to go 

And when you've had enough of fighting 

And every mean trick under the sun 

But still you fear the worst is yet to come 

Take the money and run 

Countthe bottles one by one as the fall to the ground 

Search your mind your heart your soul until the answer is found 

But watch your step the ice is thin 

If only you could see the mess you're in 

The man in black looks down on you the insignificant one 

To be or not if all so true the deal is almost done 

It matters not you're lost to him 

If only you could see the mess you're in 

Is it the pride in you that wont let go 

Is it the fool that wont let it show? 

Free yourself 

If only you could see yourself 

If you could see yourself 

And when the heavens opened up and the walls come tumbling down 

You know it is the only place to go 

And when you've had enough of fighting 

And every mean trick under the sun 

But still you fear the worst is yet to come 

Take the money and run
