Where I Want To Be by Chess in Concert Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2009

[ANATOLY]
Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became needs
Lovers possessions

Then they move in
Oh so discreetly
Slowly at first
Smiling too sweetly
I opened doors
They walked right through them
Called me their friend
I hardly knew them

Now I'm
Where I want to be
And who I want to be
And doing what I
Always said I would
And yet I feel
I haven't won at all
Running for my life
And never looking back
In case there's someone
Right behind to shoot me down
And say he always knew I'd fall
When the crazy wheel
Slows down
Where will I be?
Back where I started

Don't get me wrong
I'm not complaining
Times have been good
Fast, entertaining
But what's the point
If I'm concealing
Not only love
All other feeling?

Now I'm
Where I want to be
And who I want to be
And doing what I
Always said I would
And yet I feel
I haven't won at all
I'm running for my life
And never looking back
In case there's someone
Right behind to shoot me down
And say he always knew I'd fall
When the crazy wheel
Slows down
Where will I be?
Back where I started

[VIIGAND, spoken]
Comrade, Molokov tells me you want to play chess

[ANATOLY, spoken]
Go to hell
