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

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

Comrade, molokov tells me you want to play chess

Go to hell
