Caught in the middle Caught in the middle Caught in the middle Caught in the middle You're caught repeat end 03 The Calling (Reid/Day/Wood) (6:26) (lead vocal - Terry) Lost in timeless space alone I heed the cry I've got to get out of this place or inside I'll surely die No, it was not my intention to set my dreams aside And though I don't even try, I still won't make it easy I'll just be on my way I've finally realised I need someone to need me And if I could change my feelings then maybe I could stay Are you ready? Living a lifeless day, my dreams have begun to fade I see through the eyes of a stranger I see through another day and I hope I'll soon be gone But for now I am here, I know it won't be easy and time is running out I've finally realised I've got somewhere to go To taste another place and see what it's all about Decisions, religions, confessions, they tell you to kneel down and pray The figure of speech "learn your lesson" will leave you with nothing to say The light in the window will guide you, it will guide you wherever you go And now that you've seen all you can see the calling is calling you home The calling is calling you home end 04 The Predator (Quesnel/Day/Reid) (5:15) (lead vocal - Terry) If you try to run away I will follow If you try to lie to me I will know If you look out through your window I'll be watching And if you see me in the mirror I'll be laughing If you don't know who you are, you are a victim I will taste you in my own special way There is no reason to plead with me for mercy Because you will not live to plead another day Dr. Lecter taught me to forget my feelings Jack the Ripper taught me to clean up when I'm done But now their time is over and it's my turn To be the number one killer under the sun I am the predator and you are my prey I will live forever and you will die today I am the predator, you are my prey I will live forever and you, you're gonna die today You don't know that I am standing right behind you You can't see the blade that's gonna make you bleed In a moment you will feel it in your heart And in an instant I'll fulfill my only need I am the predator and you are my prey I will live forever and you will die today I am the predator, you are my prey I will live forever and you, you're gonna die today I'm gonna get you end 05 Victim Of Changes (Judas Priest cover) (6:34) (lead vocal - Terry) lyrics reprinted without permission. Whiskey woman don't you know that you are driving me insane? The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain You try to find your way through life, you try to find a new direction Another woman's got her man, she has another loose connection Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through Take another look around, you're not going anywhere You've realised you're getting old and no-one seems to care You try to find your way again, you try to get some new Another woman's got her man, but she will never care Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through You've been foolin with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough Good God, pluck me Once she was wonderful, once she was fine Once she was beautiful, once she was mine Change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes end
