The Game Lyrics

A sense of duty was my one intention

And an ugly beauty was my own invention

Pride, a proud refusal

I refuse to need your approval

Too many seekers, too few beacons

But through the fog we'll keep on beaming

Through the crying hours of your glitter years

All the livin' out of your tinsel tears

And the midnight trains I never made

'Cause I already played The Game



Everybody's got their own good reasons

Why their favorite season is their favorite season

Winter winners and those summer suns

Aren't good for everyone, aren't good for everyone

Spring has sprung and autumn's so well done

So well done

And it's a better thing that we do now

Forgetting everything, the whys and hows

While you reminisce about the things you miss

You won't be ready to kiss

Goodbye



The Earth is a world, the world is a ball

A ball in a game with no rules at all

And just as I wonder at the beauty of it all

You go and drop it

And it breaks when it falls



I'll never understand why you thought I would

Need to be reassured and be understood

When I always knew that your bad's my good

And I was ready

Ready to be loved



Born under Mars

With Jupiter rising

Fallen from stars

That lit my horizon



I'll never understand why you thought I would

Need to be reassured and understood

When I always knew that your bad's my good

And I was ready

To be...



Through the crying hours of your glitter years

All the livin' out of your tinsel tears

And the midnight trains I never made

'Cause I already played...



It's a better thing that we do now

Forgetting everything, the whys and hows

'Cause while you reminisce about the things you miss

You won't be ready to kiss

Goodbye
