Del Amitri - Last Cheap Shot At The Dream lyrics

I can't look into the future
But I can't cheat the past
I will wipe away my memory
I will find freedom at last
I will walk away from everything that
I used to want so bad
I can't look into the future
But the future is the only thing I have
The only thing I have

I am standing on the pavement
I am staring at a sign
A cheaper flight to paradise I
Am told I'll never find
There are cameras on the rooftops
There are crazies on the green
I will jump a plane to any place far enough
Away to get me out of who I've been
Get me out of who I've been
I have shaken, never bitten
Every hand that ever hit me
Time has taken what it wanted
Now I'm gonna get my victory
With my last cheap shot at the dream

I can't look into the future
But I can't cheat the past
I will wipe away my memory
I will find freedom at last

I can't look into the future
But I know I don't wanna see
Another day in Hell with all the mediocrities
I will walk away from everything that
The world wants me to do
I can't look into the future
But the future's where I'm walking to
I'm walking to
