eating your cake and having it too

You don?t always get what you want, never mind what you need. What goes around comes around as the saying goes? Ten years ago I asked myself the same question and made tough choices. But have you made tough choices? That?s the real question here. Whenever people ask me how to walk the tight rope I tell them better to run. That?s what you don?t understand.

If you eat the cake you lose the cake and then where are you. That?s right you are there. And there is a better place than over there. Better to stand than learn to crawl. But some of you just don?t understand and thats why you are over there.

I think I like it better "over there" actually.

Let's have a wartime sing-song. 'Over there, over there..'

Never ever eat cake on a tightrope. Madness.

You know, if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.
Just a thought.

Why would I want a cake if I couldn't eat it?
