Music & Lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
[Verse 1]
Peter's a boss in the making, he'll be there, running the show,
For now he's biding his time towing the line,
Fighting the urge to say no.
Mornings are spent at the car wash, polishing up on his dream,
He sees all the guys living their lives
To Peter they're not what they seem.
[Chorus 1]
Peter's got plans for the future he just isn't sure what they are,
All he knows is someday he's gonna be a star.
[Bridge]
He knows he wasn't born to fail, he was born for a better life than this,
Just give the guy a shot and he can't miss.
[Verse 2]
At three he starts at the Carnival
Handing out coloured balloons,
From four 'till five he has to drive the Space Ride to the Moon.
Peter's whole life is before him, nothing can stand in his way,
So when Peter's about, you'd better watch out,
Cause you know that he's not gonna stay.
[Repeat Chorus 1]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The evening sees Pete as a stagehand
He works in a show by the pier,
The money's okay and the boss says he may make him a stand-in next year.
He works all the hours God sends him
Our Peter is one of a kind,
So next time you think, you're nearing the brink,
Just you bear Peter in mind.
[Chorus 2]
He works certain nights as a cleaner. sweeping the factory floor,
To pay the bills that keep the debt collector from his door.
[Bridge]
But he knows there will come a day
When he can't keep the sharks at bay
And then they'll tow his dreams away
[Guitar Solo]
