Not For Second Prize

Dream Academy

Time itself

Is bringing down

Our ride

We're on the ground

We've almost made it

Hard to find a way

To say goodbye

And yet

The final kiss

Betrayed it



In the shadow

Of the world

Outside

Don't let it

Darken down

Your eyes

You never

Could have

Second prize



Out into the world

On shaking ground

And leaving

All the lights

Behind us

From my arms

Where no warmth

Could be found

Just the love

That had confined us



In the shadow

Of the things

You know

Don't ever think

Of letting go

No, not for

Second prize



Time is up

And bringing

Down our ride

We're almost down

The music's

Ending.
