Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Whod be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now theyre 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 Im where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I havent won at all
Running for my life and never looking back in case theres someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew Id fall
When the crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be? Back where I started
Dont get me wrong
Im not complaining
Times have been good
Fast, entertaining
But whats the point?
If Im concealing
Not only love
All common feeling
Now Im where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I havent won at all
Running for my life and never looking back in case theres someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew Id fall
When the crazy wheel slows down
Where will I be? Back where I started.
