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
