Tryouts for the Human Race

We're just a gleam in lover's eyes, steam on sweaty bodies in the night

One of us might make it through, the rest will disappear like dew

Pressure building, gettin' hot, give it, give it, give it all you got

When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

We're the future and the past, we're the only way you're gonna last

We're just pawns in a funny game, tiny actors in the oldest play

It's an angry sea we face, just to get the chance to join the race

Gotta make it, gotta try, gotta get the chance to live and die

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

We must, we must, we must leave from here

We must, we must, we must, we must leave from here

Gotta make our play, gotta get away

Gotta make our play, gotta get away

Gotta make our play, gotta get away

Gotta make our play

Let us out of here, let us out of here

Let us out of here, let us out of here

Let us out of here, let us out of here

Let us out of here, let us out of here

Let us out of here, let us out of here

We just want to feel the sun and be your little daughter or your son

We're just words that lovers use, words that light that automatic fuse

When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time till dawn

We just want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong
