Ooohhh.....

You know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
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?

Cos you know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
I never wanted to be closer
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
While ..... are 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?

(keyboard solo)
hey hey yeah

You know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
I never wanted to be closer
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 before you know it
You'll be getting closer to where
You always knew you'd be
You're up there looking down
Tell me what do you see?

You know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
I never wanted to be closer
But you'll be back I could've told you
