Ticking away the moments That make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours In an off-hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground In your home town Waiting for someone or something To show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to k** today And then the one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care Leave, don't leave me Look around and choose your own ground Long you live and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry All you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, FORget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave
