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
