V1)

Ditch the show

Time to go

Feel the sunshine on my face

On the street

Feel complete

Time to join the human race

 

 

Ch)

So many others getting through

I’M JUST ONE STEP BEHIND

I need the breaks to make it too

I’m just one step behind

While others save the world for lunch

I’m just one step behind

WHEN IT’S GONE, THEN IT’S GONE

I’m just one step behind

 

V2)

Please renew

Don’t review

All my memberships to life

Must impress

Beat the best

Got to cut them like a knife

 

Tap my wires

Stoke my fires

For it’s open house for all

Gotta score

Open doors

Must be ready for that call

 

Ch )

 

Mid 8)

 

Open your eyes

And it’s no surprise

That you realise

You’ve now just lost the plot

 

And the beat

That you looped repeat

Life has clicked delete

Yes you have lost the lot

 

And the frame

At the Hall of Fame

Don’t have your name

Just everybody else

 

 

VAMP Ch)

I thought I understood the game

Yet the rules don’t stay the same

All that’s understood is pain!  

 

V3)

 

I’d create

My own fate

But I’ve waited far too late

See the youth

So aloof

With their skins so bulletproof

 

Mustn’t rest

For this test

Fighting hard for second best

Gotta try

Reach the sky

Gotta make it ‘for I die
