Colin Hay My Brilliant Feat

Did someone call my name like a distant drum is beating
Or is it just another dream of long ago
I dance again I am spinning in the light I am living
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins

Once upon a time I could do no wrong
For the candle flickers the flame is never gone
To my brilliant feat they all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly

Is it a game of chance or merely circumstances
A jack to a king and back then you have to pay to play
The world it won't wait for you its got its own things to do
The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away

And as I listen to the silence I can hear thunder in the distance
To my brilliant feat they all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly

To my brilliant feat I make grown men weep
And still my eyes grow oh so cloudy
