I know how it feels to be the second man on the moon,
I heard her sigh quietly, the moment I came to soon.

I bought the suit the reduced the next day in the sale,
And from a shelf full of fresh baked confectionary, I bought the cake that was stale.

And in the race of the hare and the tortoise, I was the snail,
And a week on the beach is just peachy unless your a whale.

It's a one to one shoot out,
But I have the sun in my eyes.
We search for a hero to guide us
but some how we're blind.
It takes an hour to walk home,
but I'm the one wearing high heels!
I took a pill for the thrill, but it turns out
actual life is  way more surreal.

And in the race of the hare and the tortoise I was the snail.

I'm the clown not the joker, Edward II not the poker,
The draft not the heater,
a learner not teacher,
If i was part of a car I'd be a side impact bar,
Like a fashionable cardigan,
it's just a no!

And in the race of the hare and the tortoise
We are all just the snail.
