Human Racing (4:28) Lyrics - Kershaw Nik

closing in on empty spaces 

winners laugh too soon 

a paper world with paper faces 

beneath a paper moon 

there's a man, a real pacesetter 

coming after me 

and after him there's someone better and 

after him there's me 

he'll offer you a cigarette 

he'll offer you a light 

but he hasn't finished with you yet 

on another long, knife night 

so look behind you 

there's the man you're chasing 

look behind you 

let's go human racing 

human racing 

let's go racing now 

open arms and open purses 

open season's here 

fill your heads with clever verses 

and then they disappear 

silent vows in secret places 

they'll get you somehow 

cos you never win in human races 

so who's the loser now 

look behind you 

there's the man you're casing 

look behind you 

let's go human racing 

human racing 

let's go racing now
