The Game

The Game -Echo &The Bunnymen
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
Well keep on beaming
Through the crying hours of your glittering years
All the living out of your tinsel tears
And the midnight trains that I never made
Cause Id already played the game
Everybodys got their own good reason
Why their favorite season is their favorite season
Winter winners and those summers sons
Arent good for everyone arent good for everyone
Spring has sprung
And autumns so well done
So well done
Its a better thing that we do now
Forgetting everything the whys and hows
While you reminisce about the things you miss
You wont 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
Youd go and drop it
And it breaks when it falls
Ill never understand why you thought I would
Need to be reassured and be understood
When I always knew that your bads my good
And I was ready ready to be loved
Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon
Ill never understand why you thought I would
Need to be reassured and be understood
When I always knew that your bads my good
And I was 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 Id already played
Its a better thing that we do now
Forgetting everything the whys and hows
While you reminisce about the things you miss
You wont be ready to kiss goodbye
