Human Racing Lyrics - Nik Kershaw

Closing in on empty spaces 

Winners laugh too soon 

A paper world with paper faces 

Beneath a paper moon 

Well, there's a man, a real pace setter 

Coming after me 

And after him there's someone better 

And after him there's me 

Well, he'll offer you a cigarette 

He'll offer you a light 

Oh but he hasn't finished with you yet 

On another long knife night 

Look behind you 

There's the man you're chasing 

Look behind you 

Let's go human racing 

Human racing 

Oh let's go racing now 

Open arms and open purses 

Open season's here 

Well, they fill your head 

With clever verses 

And then they disappear 

Silent vows in secret places 

They'll get you somehow 

'Cause you never win 

With the human races 

So who's the loser now? 

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 

Oh 

Around and around we go 

Human racing now, oh 

After him, after him 

Around and around we go 

Let's go racing now
