This Life

See the runners going past as they bob up and down Well they're going so fast as they run out of town Men are in the saddle sitting comfortably still Trying to save the energy to get up the hill Seems that everyone is trying to escape from this place Everyone's a winner in their own little race And i am quite contented at the back of pack Just wondering what it's all about Wondering what it's all about See the mothers and the fathers and they're pushing the pram Trying to keep the sun out of the eyes of the lambs Babies are uncomfortable and trying to sleep Remembering the numbers that they need to count sheep Seems that everyone is trying to escape from this place Everyone's a winner in their own little race And i am quite contented at the back of pack Just wondering what it's all about Wondering what it's all about That is why I survived This imaginary life That is why I survived This imaginary life Well the kids are plugging in and they're done for the night And i am heading home and i'm out like a light Somebody is saying something i shouldn't know Someone else is saying ready get set go Seems that everyone is trying to escape from this place Everyone's a winner in their own little race And i am quite contented at the back of pack Just wondering what it's all about Wondering what it's all about That is why I survived This imaginary life That is why I survived This imaginary life That is why I survived This imaginary life That is why I survived This imaginary life
