Cross your fingers say you're on high
|
Pretend you're in den and see what life brings.
|
But always taking things as they come
|
Tends to make you forget to put anything in.
|
The longer you dwell the more it's like hell
|
You sit by the well just making a wish.
|
It would be a shame to take too much blame
|
Look we're all the same
|
It's only a game.

Forward where the knocks are hardest
|
Some to failure some to fame.
|
Never mind the cheers or hooting
|
Keep your head and play the game
|
Try to keep your feet on the ground
|
Without getting them stuck in the mud.
|
You will soon be over the moon or twice as hot as the sun!

So cross your fingers say you're on high
|
Pretend you're in den and see what life brings.
|
But always taking things as they come
|
Tends to make you forget to put anything in.
|
The longer you dwell the more it's like hell
|
You sit by the well just making a wish.
|
To make it plain I'll say it again
|
We're all the same
|
It's only a game.

|
|
Someone just smiled for no special reason,
|
It looks liken the smile's come back into season
|
It's so easy.
|
It doesn't have to be a nice day,
|
Just the only one you've got
|
And it's coming ready or not!
