WHERE I WANT TO BE

 

ANATOLY.

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

Most of my thoughts

All of my 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.
