I never thought it could come to this As you sit there crying Hanging on with your fingertips To something that's already dead Now we're into a game And it's all a bit strange Once on a time we were sincere Now, we're acting charades Hiding behind cracked images From other people's stages Now, we're into a game And it's all a bit strange But familiar, too The rules never change; I know it, but do you? Let's stop it now I've seen it all before And this play no longer moves me But the closing of a door Is never easy Look at the cards in your hands Kings turned to jokers There are no prizes for laughing Situation hopeless Now we're into a game And it's all a bit strange But familiar, too The rules never change; I know it, but do you? Let's stop it now It's no good looking to me for rea**urance I'm tired and don't need you to show me Your bruised innocence
