On the Loose

Saga



~~*~~




One day you feel quite stable

The next you're comin' off the wall

But I think that you should warn me

If you start heading for a fall

I see the problem start

I watch the tension grow

I see you keeping it to yourself

And then instead of reaching conclusions

I see you reaching for something else


No one can stop you now

Tonight you're on the loose

No one to tell you how

Tonight you're on the loose

No one can stop you now

Tonight you're on the loose

No one to tell you how

Tonight you're on the loose


I see no harm or danger in escaping

If the method suits the style

We put the mind on idle

And let the others take it for a while

When the pace is too fast

And I think I won't last

You know where I'll be found

I'll be standing here beside myself

Getting ready for the final round


No one can stop me now

Tonight I'm on the loose

No one to tell me how

Tonight I'm on the loose

No one can stop me now

Tonight I'm on the loose

No one to tell me how

Tonight I'm on the loose


The time we feel most stable

Is the time we're coming off the wall

And there's every indication

We may be heading for a fall

So let the problems start

And let the tension grow

We'll be keeping it to ourselves

And while they're busy reaching their conclusions

We'll be reaching for something else


No one can stop us now

Tonight we're on the loose

No one to tell us how

Tonight we're on the loose

No one can stop us now

Tonight we're on the loose

No one to tell us how

Tonight we're on the loose

One of the better anthems of that decade,

one that feels unforced to me,

as though the composer just let it rip

out of his fingers through the pen to the page.
