From the recording Oceania

Lyrics

Ain’t it hard, the way the race is run
Don’t you think it strange
Just a little bit strange
The way the game is won
’nd don’t you feel yr’ innocence
In a sense
Comin’ all undone
Never knew you had it
Or what it was
Until it’s gone, gone, gone
That’s alright mama
I was shootin’ for the sun
Yeah I may be loaded
But I’m not aimed at anyone
Mystery and circumstance
Or the fear of standin’ still
You can have yr’ happy dream home by the sea
Or live it on the run
Everyone’ll tell you
‘You can’t make a livin’ continued
Out of takin’ chances’...
It’s one step forward
And one step back
It’s dangerous dancin’
That’s alright mama
I used to think that life was fun
One day the sun was shinin’
I stepped onto highway one!
Ain’t it hard, the way the race is run
Don’t you think it strange
Just a little bit strange
The way the game is won
Don’t you feel yr’ innocence
Inner sense
Comin’ all undone
Never knew you had it
Or what it was
Until it’s gone, gone, gone
That’s alright mama
I was shootin’ for the sun
I may be loaded
But I’m not aimed at anyone
It’s alright mama
You learn to take it on the run
You take yr’ chances
You learn to take it as it comes
