When you take one step forward
Then slide two steps back
Or outstay your welcome
'Cos your nerve starts to crack
And when your plans come to nothing
And your life's on the rack
Then you're losing track of time
Losing track of time
Losing track of time
When you've spent 40 long years
In a dead-end job
Tried to escape
But end up losing the plot
When what you really wanted
Is not what you got
Then you're losing track of time
Losing track of time
Losing track of time
