Lyrics
Racing Car Driver
Copyrigth, 1992 (John Kelly)
I wanna be a racing car driver
An actor, a writer
A famous musician
The world?s politician
I wanna be an astronaut in space
Representing the human race
Receive high acclaim
Live off the fame
Chorus
Because I just can?t accept
I just won?t accept myself
No I just can?t accept
I just won?t accept myself
I wanna be an ace fighter pilot
With my baby inside it
The fatal attraction
A piece of the action
I wanna be a scientist searching
To stop people hurting
Receive high acclaim
Live off the fame
Chorus
I?ve anticipated
But I stay frustrated
All of the time
I?ll put my dreams on the shelf
Until I can accept myself
I?ll put my dreams on the shelf
Until I can accept myself
Chorus
