Nena - It's All In the Game lyrics

There was an old man Who was robbing himself blind For too many years The only thing he stole was time He gambled with only a moment to spare His destiny close - he could taste it in the air Seized him without warning Disarmed him of his plans But the odds were even He'd won a second chance He laughed and said It's all in the game Remember that Winning isn't everything Live to the limit And listen to your heart Don't let life leave you Standing in the dark Luck fades away But the spirit never dies It's all in the game Keep the fire in your eyes Break in a sweat Pull up your collar and cuff Tryin' your best Sometimes your best ain't good enough Some people spend years at a time Other people spend every nickel and dime You're gonna have to play Or pay the consequence Lay your money down Or put in down to experience Remember that It's all in the game Don't forget Winning isn't everything Live to the limit And listen to your heart Don't let life leave you Standing in the dark Luck fades away But the spirit never dies It's all in the game Keep the fire in your eyes Break in a sweat Pull up your collar and cuff Tryin' your best Sometimes your best ain't good enough Some people spend years at a time Other people spend every nickel and dime You're gonna have to play Or pay the consequence Lay your money down Or put in down to experience Remember that It's all in the game Don't forget Winning isn't everything Live to the limit And listen to your heart Don't let life leave you Standing in the dark Luck fades away But the spirit never dies It's all in the game Keep the fire in your eyes Live to the limit And listen to your heart Don't let life leave you Standing in the dark Luck fades away But the spirit never dies It's all in the game Keep the fire in your eyes
