Arabian Derby Lyrics - Cantatonia

I never feared the rain 

Until you turned to me and said it failed again 

It makes a perfect day so lame 

And leads as halfway to nowhere 

So the players have changed 

Soon we'll memorise the names 

But somehow something's never quite the same 

Still we stake a claim - you can count us in again 

And everyone's a winner baby 

Head your bets, get set 

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line 

Get up, get set, get ready 

Get high, get low, get even 

Cause we're living in the middle of time 

Chasing the ultimate prize 

You'd make a fine millionaire 

It's only natural to celebrate 

But someone's got to be there to pay 

And we never get there 

So take some time on our own 

We burn in us alone 

Close but still not fully grown 

Pulling marrow from a bone 

But there's no sin in that, so count us in again 

And everyone's a winner baby 

Head your bets, get set 

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line 

Everyone's a winner, baby 

Everyone's a winner, baby 

Going back to the old house 

The marigolds just go to show 

That some of us would never have left home 

But see I'm still counting 

Another flash in the pan 

Achieves an instant forming tan 

It seems to grow on me 

Taking inches from a mile 

No change there, but I'm all for throwing it on the line 

Cause everyone's a winner baby 

Head your bets, get set 

And maybe we could be the first to cross the line 

Get up, get set, get ready 

Get high, get low to get even 

Cause we're living in the middle of time 

Chasing the ultimate prize 

Everyone's a winner baby 

Everyone's a winner baby 

Everyone's a winner baby
