Echo Amp The Bunnymen The Game Lyrics

The Game Lyrics

A sense of duty



 Was my one intention



 And an ugly beauty



 Was my own invention



 Pride a proud refusal



 And 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 living out



 Of your tinsel tears



 And the midnight trains



 I never made



 'cos i'd already



 Played...the game



 



 



 Everybody's



 Got their own good reason



 Why their favorite season



 Is their favorite season



 Winter winners



 And those summers sons



 Aren't good for everyone



 Aren't good for everyone



 Spring has sprung



 And autumns 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 and 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 be understood



 When i always knew



 That your bad's my good



 And i was ready



 Ready...to be



 



 



 Through the crying hours



 Of your glitter years



 All the living out



 Of your tinsel tears



 And the midnight trains



 I never made



 'cos i'd already



 Played



 



 



 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
