Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer
And I´ll still be here until it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
But you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
Well I always knew
Yes I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now you´ve got what you wanted
And you´re free to be the things
You always said you´d be
You´re up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
You know I never wanted to be closer
And I´ll still be here until it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
Well it seems to me
That you´ve got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
It´s dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when you´re holding the aces
Don´t throw it away cos you know
I´d rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
hey hey yeah
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
And I´ll still be here ´til it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ooh but you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
It´s been a long time coming
But at last we seem to be moving on, straight ahead
We´re finally getting something done
Time flies and ´fore you know it
You´ll be getting closer to where
You always knew you´d be
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
I´ll still be here until it´s over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Yeah but you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
hey hey yeah...
You know I never wanted to be closer
And I´ll still be here until it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
But you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
Well I always knew
Yes I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now you´ve got what you wanted
And you´re free to be the things
You always said you´d be
You´re up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
Cos you know
You know I never wanted to be closer
And I´ll still be here until it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
Well it seems to me
That you´ve got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
It´s dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when you´re holding the aces
Don´t throw it away cos you know
I´d rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see - oh
hey hey yeah
Ooh yeah
You know I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
And I´ll still be here ´til it´s over
No, no I never wanted to be closer (never wanted)
Ooh but you´ll be back, I could´ve told you
It´s been a long time coming
But at last we seem to be moving on, straight ahead
We´re finally getting something done
