THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
"Uroboros"

I walk the line to find
To see ahead, I look behind, and it's alright
Sometimes, I climb Escher stairs
Never leading anywhere, but it's alright
From fractal to the galaxy
A revolution spiraling, and it's alright
Sooner or later, your luck will betray you
But tables will turn, and you'll learn the behavior, and it's alright

[Chorus 1:]
Got your tail in your mouth
And so it goes round and round
It's the rule of the ring
It's the kiss of the uroboros

It's the secret clocks tell time
One turns and the other flies, and it's alright
Another wheel inside a wheel
Inside another you can't feel, and it's alright

[Chorus 2:]
What is lost will be found
As the serpent coils round and round
Now the future's the past
In the grasp of the uroboros

[Bridge:]
Round and round again, where the end begins
Back where the beginning arrives
Season cycle spins, and the winter wind
Turns to summer's sigh
Familiar stranger in
Some eternal return
Heads and tails flip (Heads and tails flip)
As fortunes turn (As fortunes turn)

[Chorus 1:]
Got your tail in your mouth
And so it goes round and round
And it's the rule of the ring
It's the kiss of the uroboros
Now the future's the past
In the grasp of the uroboros
