Where I Want to Be

[00:00.75] Who needs a dream?
[00:05.40] Who needs ambition?
[00:09.52] Who'd be the fool
[00:13.72] In my position?
[00:19.25] Once I had dreams,
[00:23.62] Now they're obsessions.
[00:28.76] Hopes became needs--
[00:33.40] Lovers possessions.
[00:38.19] Then they move in
[00:43.05] Oh so discreetly,
[00:47.28] Slowly at first--
[00:51.09] Smiling too sweetly.
[00:56.25] I opened doors
[01:00.84] They walked right through them.
[01:05.04] Called me their friend--
[01:08.54] I hardly knew them.
[01:13.95] Now I'm
[01:17.18] Where I want to be,
[01:18.44] And who I want to be,
[01:19.51] And doing what I
[01:20.77] Always said I would,
[01:21.72] And yet I feel
[01:22.72] I haven't won at all.
[01:26.94] Running for my life,
[01:27.96] And never looking back
[01:28.87] In case there's someone
[01:29.89] Right behind to shoot me down
[01:30.98] And say he always knew I'd fall.
[01:33.62] When the crazy wheel
[01:38.42] Slows down,
[01:43.18] Where will I be?
[01:46.78] Back where I started.
[01:52.90] Don't get me wrong,
[01:57.50] I'm not complaining.
[02:01.96] Times have been good--
[02:05.73] Fast, entertaining.
[02:10.47] But what's the point
[02:14.32] If I'm concealing
[02:20.25] Not only love,
[02:24.65] All other feeling?
[02:28.88] Now I'm
[02:31.98] Where I want to be,
[02:33.46] And who I want to be,
[02:34.47] And doing what I
[02:35.56] Always said I would,
[02:36.52] And yet I feel
[02:37.31] I haven't won at all.
[02:41.15] I'm running for my life,
[02:42.64] And never looking back
[02:43.78] In case there's someone
[02:44.75] Right behind to shoot me down
[02:45.79] And say he always knew I'd fall.
[02:48.92] When the crazy wheel
[02:53.58] Slows down,
[02:58.93] Where will I be?
[03:04.18] Back where I started.
[03:15.05] Comrade, Molokov tells me you want to play chess.
[03:17.73] Go to hell.
