You got me up, you got me down Hot to the ground, you're flying around You call me back, back to the start Another labyrinth where I get lost Why do we play this losing game? For every step ahead is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head? I can't afford to lose another bet You start to fight, I put up my pawns Some hands are swift and slight and deceptive like dreams Words like screams that you let go You take scissors to the cards and a hand I won't show Why do we play this losing game? For every step ahead is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head? I can't afford to lose another bet Rather, my dear, you lose your way Remember the rules of the game that we play You got me up, you got me down Hot to the ground, you're flying around Why do we play this losing game? For every step ahead is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head? I can't afford to lose another bet Why do we play this losing game? For every step ahead is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head? How do you make me lose my head?
