Closing in on empty spaces
Winners laugh too soon
Their 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

Oh, 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

[Chorus]
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
Well, they fill your head with clever verses
And then they disappear
Silent vows in secret places
They'll get you somehow
Oh, 'cause you never win them human races
So who's the loser now

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

Round and round we go
Human racing, oh
After me, after him
Round and round we go
Who's the loser

[To Fade]
