The Great Experiment

Lyrics

[Verse 1] "Is that all there is to it?" He asks "No more conjecture or controversy? Don't think I could go through it I couldn't live with the memory Now is the hour, it comes eventually; How great the power as it falls on me!" [Pre-Chorus] He's raising his sense of occasion to the limit (Big moment is coming up) Practised, his sense of evasion... or is it? (No sidestep or dummy run) Craving a certain indulgence – would you give it? Would you give it in time? [Chorus] Treading water, making waves From the cradle to the grave; Home by a whisker – close shaves! I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment [Verse 2] Near the end of the reel now He's hanging on by his fingertips Oh, he knows how it feels; At last the kiss of unearthly lips Now is the hour to get a tighter grip How great the power as the tide begins to rip! [Pre-Chorus] And he's raising his sense of occasion to the limit (Big moment is coming up) Practised, his sense of evasion... or is it? (No sidestep or dummy run) Craving a certain indulgence – would you give it? Would you give it in time? [Chorus] Treading water, making waves From the cradle to the grave; Home by a whisker – close shaves! I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment I'm waiting, what I said I meant: No faking The Great Experiment [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I'm waiting - No faking The Great Experiment
