Don't look back

Some people terrified of spiders and snakes
Ladders and space – oh what a waste
Some people never climb over the wall
Think they´re too small and hide their face
Some people live their life under glass
Stay in their past – sit on their ass
I´m here to tell you that life is a gas
Tomorrow´s a blast so don´t look back
So come on ´n pick it up
Throw some coffee in that dirty ´ol cup
Eyes on the prize – re-energise
There´s another party waiting to use your sky
Push your legs into a new pair of shoes
Don´t stop you´ll only get the loser´s blues
Out there somebody´s waiting on you
To reach out and throw ´em some slack
Behind everyone lies a mistake
A terrible place – a bad break
You can´t remember every bug that you killed
Every bottle you spilled – each swallowed pill
I like to think I got no enemies
Yet here comes someone with a knife in his teeth
Telling everyone he´s a looking for me
For something or other I done – oh boy
I get up and I run
Dodge every bullet from the "your guilty" gun
I paid the price – had my fun
Committed my sins – I lied to my mum
I keep my head above this watery grave
Keep my eyes on the prize – pretend I´m brave
One thing I ain´t is nobody´s slave
I watch my front and my back (Don´t look back)
So come on ´n pick it up
Throw some coffee in that dirty ´ol cup
Eyes on the prize – re-energise
There´s another party waiting to use your sky
Push your legs into a new pair of shoes
Don´t stop you´ll only get the loser´s blues
Out there somebody´s waiting on you
Reach out and throw ´em some slack (Don´t look back)
Ladders and space – oh what a waste
Some people never climb over the wall
Think they´re too small and hide their face
Some people live their life under glass
Stay in their past – sit on their ass
I´m here to tell you that life is a gas
Tomorrow´s a blast so don´t look back
So come on ´n pick it up
Throw some coffee in that dirty ´ol cup
Eyes on the prize – re-energise
There´s another party waiting to use your sky
Push your legs into a new pair of shoes
Don´t stop you´ll only get the loser´s blues
Out there somebody´s waiting on you
To reach out and throw ´em some slack
Behind everyone lies a mistake
A terrible place – a bad break
You can´t remember every bug that you killed
Every bottle you spilled – each swallowed pill
I like to think I got no enemies
Yet here comes someone with a knife in his teeth
Telling everyone he´s a looking for me
For something or other I done – oh boy
