The Alan Parsons Project - Wine From The Water

[Parsons/Bairnson]



You can take me up, you can wind me down

There's no escape, but I'll never drown

No wires or strings, No rough and smooth

Just fire and stings, Watch me closely, Watch my every move



I can count your money while I check your hand

And you know I just can't lose



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, There's nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air



I can break these chains, While I'm upside down

Well it may seem strange, I don't hit the ground

Now you see my hand, Is quicker than your eye

You should know by now, What you see here, all of it's a lie



I can steal from your pocket when I shake your hand

And I know you can't refuse



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Think of a number, I'll get it right

Throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight



I can wind you up, I can turn you round

No cunning stunts, till the lady's found

No coils or springs, Just nice and smooth

No Knaves or Kings, Find the lady, Watch my every move



I can count your money while I check your hand

And you know I just can't lose



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, No, nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Think of a number, I'll get it right

You can throw me in the river, Tie my hands up tight



Wine from the water, Gold from a tree

Now I wouldn't fool you, There's nothing up my sleeve

Look for a mirror, There's nothing there

I get rings out of nowhere, Money from thin air
