The clown came down to meet me

With a smile upon his face

He fired his starting pistol

And began the human race

There were faces all around me

They were running everywhere

But everywhere is nowhere

And nowhere isn't there


It's a game

a game

a game that we're playing

Well

I don't mind but I don't make the rules

It's a game

a game

a game that we're playing

Just a game for lovers and fools


There's snakes upon your ladder

And there's dice upon your skirt

There's lipstick on my collar

And there's sweat upon my shirt

The neighbours wiil start talking

But you know that I don't care

For the neighbours they are nowhere

And nowhere isn't there


It's a game

a game

a game that we're playing
