lyrics

Slicing through headwinds like a warm winter knife
been dodging disaster for most of my life
if you take the high road, I'll handle the fall
let me lend you a hand when your back's to the wall

you're blocked for days knocked back a ways
you'd better check the plumbing
time to turn the page to a new age
you didn't see it coming

dress for success that's the name of the game
even when you win you might still take the blame
middle of the road where dreams go to stall
if you want to play it safe better don't play at all

cause it's now or never just pull the lever
the engine's on and humming
time to turn the page to the new age
but you didn't see it coming

you move to New England the land of the free
but seldom things work out the way you thought they would be
the heart carries more than the body can take
just make it home safe before the dam starts to break

you've been out for days you're in a new phase
and the side effects are numbing
the band has left the stage it's a new age
and you didn't see it coming

and it's now or never just pull the lever
the engine's hot and humming
time to turn the page, straight through middle age
but you didn't see it coming

you didn't see it coming
you didn't see it coming
you didn't see it coming
you didn't see it coming
no you didn't see it coming
no you didn't see it coming
you didn't see it coming
no you didn't see it coming
no you didn't see it coming
