Cantatonia - Arabian Derby lyrics

rate me

I never feared the rain<br />

Until you turned to me and said it failed again<br />

It makes a perfect day so lame<br />

And leads as halfway to nowhere<br />

<br />

So the players have changed<br />

Soon we'll memorise the names<br />

But somehow something's never quite the same<br />

Still we stake a claim - you can count us in again<br />

<br />

And everyone's a winner baby<br />

Head your bets, get set<br />

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line<br />

<br />

Get up, get set, get ready<br />

Get high, get low, get even<br />

Cause we're living in the middle of time<br />

Chasing the ultimate prize<br />

<br />

You'd make a fine millionaire<br />

It's only natural to celebrate<br />

But someone's got to be there to pay<br />

And we never get there<br />

<br />

So take some time on our own<br />

We burn in us alone<br />

Close but still not fully grown<br />

Pulling marrow from a bone<br />

<br />

But there's no sin in that, so count us in again<br />

<br />

And everyone's a winner baby<br />

Head your bets, get set<br />

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line<br />

<br />

Everyone's a winner, baby<br />

Everyone's a winner, baby<br />

<br />

Going back to the old house<br />

The marigolds just go to show<br />

That some of us would never have left home<br />

But see I'm still counting<br />

<br />

Another flash in the pan<br />

Achieves an instant forming tan<br />

It seems to grow on me<br />

Taking inches from a mile<br />

<br />

No change there, but I'm all for throwing it on the line<br />

<br />

Cause everyone's a winner baby<br />

Head your bets, get set<br />

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line<br />

<br />

Get up, get set, get ready<br />

Get high, get low to get even<br />

Cause we're living in the middle of time<br />

Chasing the ultimate prize<br />

<br />

Everyone's a winner baby<br />

Everyone's a winner baby<br />

Everyone's a winner baby
