The Races

Gone forever to the races

Pull your money out

Call your mother, tell her something

Never go without

Pause a moment, just a moment

Smoothing down your hair

Gone forever to forever

Feeling like despair

You wanted to, you wanted to

You wanted to be, oh

You wanted to, you wanted to

You wanted to be

You work so hard just to light a little flower

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Just to make things happen for a reason

(You wanted to be, oh)

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every itty-bitty

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Goddamn bone in your body

(You wanted to be free)

Wonder at the numbers that you

See upon the wall

Take for granted all you know and

What you can't recall

Call me honey, I don't mind

I guess I feel the same

Pull me under, kiss me hard

Pull me into frame

You wanted to, you wanted to

You wanted to be, oh

You wanted to, you wanted to

You wanted to be

You work so hard just to light a little flower

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Just to make things happen for a reason

(You wanted to be, oh)

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every itty-bitty

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Goddamn bone in your body

(You wanted to be free)

You work so hard just to light a little flower

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Just to make things happen for a reason

(You wanted to be, oh)

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every itty-bitty

(You wanted to, you wanted to)

Goddamn bone in your body

(You wanted to be free)
