The Alan Parsons Project - Upper Me

(Lead vocal: Eric Stewart - 10cc) The time has come the wild one said When we must all decide We cannot carry on this way And so we must divide The road before us runs both ways So which one do you choose But all will not go well if you refuse What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind How can i leave my ego behind I return to another me or i lose the will to survive How can i keep my hero alive It seems to me the wise one said That mountains are so high The river is too deep to cross And none of us can fly But i believe that compromise Is what is needed here Or surely we become the things we fear But the good in me don't wanna believe That the evil me is so And a voice somewhere said do as you please But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind How can i leave my ego behind I return to another me or i lose the will to survive How can i keep my hero alive To survive How can i keep my hero alive
