Betcha - Jon Anderson

It was the perfect opportunity

Looking at your quick mistakes

So yo you finally went and did it You screamed and ran away

It was the perfect chance

The mystery school

It’s all for beginners

How we knew it then

But that didn’t mean a thing

So we stacked our promises

To the mothers of invention

Then yo you chased the spiral dream

With the brothers of time

So you gave your heart of hearts

To the sisters of the union

You were left so high and dry

Just give it up Just give a little time

Betcha never thought

You’d make

Betcha never thought

You’d see the light of day

Betcha never thought

You’d make it You were dancing faster all the time

Living life so down and out

But it was so magnificent

You couldn’t leave it all alone

So you chased your dreams

When they sing to you, «Bon jour»

It’s the perfect dream

But that didn’t mean a thing

Something tells me you know who you are

You just make believe it all

Something tells me you were

Just waiting for that perfect time

See this reality

It’s the mother of invention

You can spin the spiral dream

Sister, brother, sister of time

Betcha never thought

You’d make it Betcha never thought

You’d see the light of day

Betcha never thought

You’d have it in your pocket

Just catch you when you’re falling

Just catch you when you’re falling, falling

Betcha never thought you’d make it You’d make it It was the perfect opportunity

Just looking at your quick mistakes

So yo you finally went and did it
