When you were young you were the little one They liked to hear you sing your song You were running around and chasing your tail You were too young to think you'd ever fail You thought you know what they wanted from you And you did what you felt was the right thing to do You started climbing ladders the way you were told You didn't know you were growing old Heads you win and tails you loose Makes no difference which one you choose But if Lady luck is with you, then you're coming along Everybody's interested in buying your song The days on the top, you've left them behind And the climax you searched for was too hard to find The fans you had have all run away Another star - Another play Heads you win - etc... When you were young you were the little one They liked to hear you sing your song You were running around and chasing your tail You were too young to think you'd ever fail Heads you win and tails you lose Makes no difference which one you choose Cause when you reach your station You've been travelling too long There's nobody waiting to hear your song
