Alan Parsons Project - UPPER ME lyrics

rate me

The Ego and the Id

Lead Vocal: Eric Stewart

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
