Start in the way that you want to go on
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted, but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras
The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee, 'cos we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are fighting it out on their own
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission
Okay, we're lucky
But then again
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me the whole[?] secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted, but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras
The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee, 'cos we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are fighting it out on their own
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission
Okay, we're lucky
But then again
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me the whole[?] secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission
