My Survival

(album: Spies Of Life - 1981)

Lately I've been going through upheavals
And it's hard to know the smartest way to turn
Between the loser and the rival
I'm concerned for my survival

Maybe they'll find me in a subway
Take my body to an early grave
Pronounce me "Dead On Arrival"
I'm concerned for my survival

But you say
"Head up, run into the wind
Gotta get back on the rails again
Keep on looking for the truth
But don't go looking for the fountain of youth
'Cause it's a fool's game" but I play it anyway
Without you I'd surely slip away
Your love keeps me holding on

I give my soul to my music
I give my heart to my love
But my mind is going through some changes
Don't know what I could be thinking of

You say
"Head up, run into the wind
Gotta get back on the rails again
Keep on looking for the truth
But don't go looking for the fountain of youth
'Cause it's a fool's game" but I play it anyway
Without you I'd surely slip away
Your love keeps me holding on

Head up, run into the wind
Gotta get back on the rails again
Keep on looking for the truth
But don't go looking for the fountain of youth
'Cause it's a fool's game but I play it anyway
Without you I'd surely slip away
But you keep me holding on
Keep me holding on
Holding on...
