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 'til 
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

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
We just want to feel the sun and be your little 
daughter or your son
We're just words that lovers use, words thaat light 
that automatic fuse
When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to 
be someone
