Mal Webb - Turtle lyrics

I try to be everything to everyone in every way I try to be everywhere with every answer, every day But I'm spreading out so thin, my smile's caving in Until I'm slightly less than nothing to myself It's not a race you can win Go for a place within your skin Horizons get closer the lower you get They're rising if only to help the sun set Well, the moon is in her ball gown and we're waltzing into space And the band'll still be playing when we finish up the race Gonna take the longest road to the furthest place Gonna take the lightest load at the slowest pace My turtle taught us how we oughta steer So maybe when we get there we're gonna be right here We'll be right here The roses need a sniff, the dog could use a pat It isn't that much, but it's making a start And I won't panic if I hang for a chat I only want to march to the beat of my heart I'm dizzy, I must have been chasing my tail Too busy to notice my bread going stale Well, I haven't got a long face and I'll say it 'til I'm hoarse But get these blinkers off and I'll probably find I'm way off course
