I never feared the rain   Until you turned to me and said it failed again   It makes a perfect day so lame   And leads as halfway to nowhere      So the players have changed   Soon we'll memorise the names   But somehow something's never quite the same   Still we stake a claim - you can count us in again      And everyone's a winner baby   Head your bets, get set   And maybe we could be the first to cross the line      Get up, get set, get ready   Get high, get low, get even   Cause we're living in the middle of time   Chasing the ultimate prize      You'd make a fine millionaire   It's only natural to celebrate   But someone's got to be there to pay   And we never get there      So take some time on our own   We burn in us alone   Close but still not fully grown   Pulling marrow from a bone      But there's no sin in that, so count us in again      And everyone's a winner baby   Head your bets, get set   And maybe we could be the first to cross the line      Everyone's a winner, baby   Everyone's a winner, baby      Going back to the old house   The marigolds just go to show   That some of us would never have left home   But see I'm still counting      Another flash in the pan   Achieves an instant forming tan   It seems to grow on me   Taking inches from a mile      No change there, but I'm all for throwing it on the line      Cause everyone's a winner baby   Head your bets, get set   And maybe we could be the first to cross the line      Get up, get set, get ready   Get high, get low to get even   Cause we're living in the middle of time   Chasing the ultimate prize      Everyone's a winner baby   Everyone's a winner baby   Everyone's a winner baby
