| I could be jealous and grasping with greed
|
| I could pretend that I want something I don’t need
|
| These are the things that go through my head
|
| But then, I could be an angel disguised as a man
|
| I could be the sun that shines in the midnight land
|
| If you would only stand in my corner
|
| Give that advantage to me
|
| Don’t you feel something?
|
| You know what I’m thinking but
|
| I can’t set it free, we must
|
| Play this game, take the prize
|
| But not before you realize
|
| That win or lose, it’s all the same
|
| Then maybe we can play this game
|
| I can’t remember the reason I’m here
|
| Sometimes it seems like it’s all out of habit or fear
|
| Sometimes I wish, I could just go to sleep
|
| But then, I’ll have a dream with a beautiful end
|
| I’ll wake up and feel alive, then I’m off again
|
| If I could only keep your connection
|
| Give me whatever remains
|
| Then I might win you total liberation
|
| But I can’t break these chains, we must
|
| Play this game, let’s pretend
|
| That we could never reach the end
|
| For it would be a crying shame
|
| If we can’t learn to play this game
|
| Play this game, take the prize
|
| But not before you realize
|
| That win or lose, it’s all the same
|
| Then maybe you can play this game
|
| (Stand in my corner) Give that advantage to me
|
| (Stand in my corner) Pull down a message with me
|
| The answer that evades our brains
|
| We only think we’re wearing chains
|
| Stand in my corner
|
| Won’t you stand in my corner
|
| Stand in my corner
|
| Play this game, take the prize
|
| But not before you realize
|
| That win or lose, it’s all the same
|
| Then maybe you can play this game
|
| Play this game, let’s pretend
|
| That we could never reach the end
|
| For it would be a crying shame
|
| If we can’t learn to play this game
|
| Play this game, take the prize
|
| But not before you realize
|
| That win or lose, it’s all the same… |
