Lyrics

look around at the five o'clock crowd
empty eyes on smiling faces
(it) wouldn't matter if you knew their stories
there's no consolation for what time erases

keep an eye out for pure elation
you might start to think that you've gone blind
most forms of mental stimulation
only last for a limited time

(chorus)
all I see are life's sad contestants

you can't win if you don't take some chances, and
once a winner, your odds diminish
keep it up anytime this happens
'cause it only lasts for fifteen minutes
