In Command

Keeping it was never easy Everything will slip away Close your eyes - it's gone for sure Holding on will make you tired Even in the light of day Line them up - count them in once more Driven by the fear of loosing Hiding from the chance to win Every day - close to the ground Looking at it from a distance Waiting for the ball to spin Bets are placed - ball goes 'round and 'round I understand You got to play to win You got to take a chance, and I'm in command But I wait in line And I have been for some time Maybe I'm afraid of nothing Maybe nothing keeps me sane Loosing the grip - on reality Funny how when I am falling I never really fear the pain It is the shame - that is killing me I understand You got to play to win You got to take a chance, and I'm in command But I wait in line And I have been for some time I'm a girl upon a roof top Last to know it has begun Everybody sure they're winning Flying closer to the sun I tell myself it's not that easy Tell myself it's just my way Every time I feel the delay I understand You got to play to win You got to take a chance, and I'm in command But I wait in line And I have been for some time I understand You got to play to win You got to take a chance, and I'm in command But I wait in line And I have been for some time
