Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became 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 other 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
I'm 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
