Where do you see yourself in five years?
So, what's new tiger to look forward to?
You've got everything going for you till the smokescreen clears
Make plans all you want, they're bound to bear the brunt
Of being upstaged by your hopes and your fears
In a place where it's comfy and warm
Or riding on the crest of storm after storm
Pulling off what it takes to fill the uniform
(1 2 3 4) Where do you see yourself in five years?
So, what's new tiger, is it too soon to tell?
It's all very well until it's all reviewed by your peers
From Caracalla's Baths' undoin' to Nero's Gilded House's ruin
A prospect perseveres
(Payday!) Raise a toast to your health
Mayday to Mayday, you're such a kid yourself
Forwardly mobile or remanded on a shelf
(1 2 3 4) Where do you see yourself in five years?
Going to a place where it's comfy and warm
Or riding on the crest of storm after storm
Or none of the above, freely fill in the form
The writing's on the palm, the fortune teller is all leers
(Mayday!) Raise a toast to your ill health
Payday to payday, go on, kid yourself
Despise the devil riding shotgun by stealth
The countdown ain't done until someone volunteers
It's early days tiger but tell us, we're all ears
(Up 2 3 4) Where do you see yourself in five years?
