One Step Ahead Lyrics - Singles - Nik Kershaw

I catch my breath and ready for the race to come 

No prizes call, the contest is my opium 

Since you can never be sure 

When they're keeping the score 

You must always be ready to run 

I tense myself 

Waiting for the starting gun 

No time for fun 

Because 

I work all day and I think all night 

I break my body but that's alright 

'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might 

To keep one step ahead of you 

I think to myself living is a winning school 

Winning on your feet, winning on the street 

Winning as a golden rule 

It's seems there's always a test 

And I'm doing my best 

But there still seems a long way to go 

I try myself 

Trying everything I know 

Pushing me so 

So 

(Chorus) 

Don't wanna know why 

Don't wanna know how or when or who 

One step ahead 

One more step ahead just to get me through 

I try my best 

Here comes another test 

So wicked, no rest 

Because 

(Chorus 2x)
