Human Race

(album: Trapeze: The Collection - 2002)

I can see it on the road ahead
Running hard, I'm here
But I could be there instead

Many houses with the lights on
Silhouettes behind the shades beside fires
I'm sure that I saw you in one

I loved you but that was way back then
Now I'm alone outside and I face the wind
The rain washes me thin

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down, and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again

Race through the shadows, race against stone
The sunken city I thought was my own
Might be in a brave new world
But it's really not my home

Roll over, fall in, "My god" I screamed
They might catch them, but they won't catch me
I'm out here clean, and I'm free
Yes, I'm free

Knocked me down but I got back up
And I got myself back in the race again
Knock me down, and I'll get back up
And I'll get myself back in the race again
