The Russian And Molokov / Where I Want To Be (《Chess》音乐剧歌曲) - Denis Quilley/Tommy Korberg

The man is utterly mad

You're playing a lunatic

That's the problem

He's a brilliant lunatic

And you can't tell which way he'll jump

Like his game he's impossible to analyse

You can't dissect him predict him

Which of course means

He's not a lunatic at all

What we've just

Seen's a pathetic display

From a man who's beginning to crack

He's afraid

He knows he isn't the player he was

And he won't get it back

Nonsense

Why do my seconds

Always want to believe

Third-rate propaganda

My friend please relax

We're all on your side

You know how you need us

I don't need my army

Of so-called 'advisors'

And helpers to tell me

The man who's revitalised

Chess single-handed

Is more or less out of his brain

When it's very clear

He's sane

Listen we don't underestimate anyone

We won't get caught in that trap

After all winning or losing reflects on us all

Oh don't give me that crap

I win no one else does

And I take the rap if I lose

It's not quite that simple

The whole world's tuned in

We're all on display

We're not merely sportsmen

Oh please don't start

Spouting that old party line

Yes I know it's your job but

Just get out and get me

A chess-playing second

In thirty-six hours we begin

That is if you want to win

Who needs a dream

Who needs ambition

Who'd be the fool

In my position

Once I had dreams

Now they're obsessions

Hopes became needs

Lovers possessions

Then they move in

Oh so discreetly

Slowly at first

Smiling too sweetly

I opened doors

They walked right through them

Called me their friend

I hardly knew them

Now I'm where I want to be

And who I want to be

And doing what I

Always said I would

And yet I feel I haven't won at all

Running for my life and never

Looking back in case there's

Someone

Right behind to shoot me down

And say he always knew I'd fall

When the crazy wheel slows down

Where will I be

Back where I started

Don't get me wrong

I'm not complaining

Times have been good

Fast entertaining

But what's the point

If I'm concealing

Not only love

All other feeling

Now I'm where I want to be

And who I want to be

And doing what I

Always said I would

And yet I feel I haven't won at all

Running for my life

And never looking back in case there's

Someone right behind

To shoot me down

And say he always knew I'd fall

When the crazy wheel slows down

Where will I be back where I started
