Who needs a dream? Who needs ambition? Who’d be the fool In my position? Once I had dreams Now they’re obsessions Hopes become needs Lovers possessions
Then they move in Oh so discreetly Slowly at first Smiling too sweetly I opened doors They walked right through them Called me their friend I hardly knew them
Now I’m where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I haven’t won at all Running for my life and never looking back in case there’s someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I’d fall
When the crazy wheel slows down Where will I be? Back where I started
Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining Times have been good Fast, entertaining But what’s the point? If I’m concealing Not only love All common feeling
Now I’m where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I haven’t won at all Running for my life and never looking back in case there’s someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I’d fall
When the crazy wheel slows down Where will I be? Back where I started.
