I live in a vacumn, no airI'm stuck in back room, somewhere
But it don't bother me amyway 'cos I know
Goin' to get out soon, I got places to goThere's a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believebut right now I'm just tryin' to survive
Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up
Get the picture, get the scene I paint fo ryou
Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' thru
Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everyday
I don't worry 'cos I know I'm on my wayThe view from my window, ain't too good
Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood
When the phone rings, could be big things, anytime
Operator is there somethin' wrong with this lineRejections, I've had a few
Happens to the best, it ain't nothin' newStill I keep on swingin' away
S'gonna be a breakthrough any dayKeep hanging in there, that's my philosophy
And soon I'll find my big chance, wait and see
Some make it fast, but they just come and go
Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know
Those straight life people, they don't understand
Yeah they just want it all laid out and planned
Me, I'm not like them, I do things my own wayI know I'm gonna break thru any day
Life in the city, can get you down
There's amillion guys out there all snooping around
You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest
And fight your way up to the top of the townThere's a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believeRight now I'm just tryin' to survive
I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or aliveI'm going to reach for the moon
And all the stars tooI'm gonna get there real soon, I know I will
I want the universe, and all the planers too
