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
