Where I Want to Be

Who needs a dream?
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
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.
