The Prize Songtext

von Ian McNabb

You've been fillin' in your time
Tryin' to occupy your mind
And you'll follow any sign
That'll lead you to the prize
It's a face you've never seen
It's a love you only dream
And the cost can be extreme
And you're waiting for the prize
Waiting for the prize
So you tell yourself "Gotta keep moving on 'cause the heart that grows heavy don't have no fun."
You're a little bit happy, you're a little numb
And you're scared your race is run
While you're waiting for the prize
Everybody's got a dream
You just gotta reel 'em in
But your time is runnin' thin
Still you're waiting for the prize
All your friends are tucked up tight
While you're chasing neon lights
But, hey, you're gonna to be all right
'cause your gonna find the prize
You have to find the prize
So you tell yourself "Gotta be headed home"
Just a little bit merry, just a little stoned
Everybody's so friendly but you leave alone
They can see it in your eyes
You're waiting for the prize
Waiting for the prize
Still waiting for the prize
(Gotta keep moving on)
Waiting for the prize
(Gotta keep moving on)
Waiting for the prize
