Fool's Game lyrics

It's a fool's, fool's game

Lover, that we have to play

Crashing into each other

No convalescing

It's a leap of faith

Lover, that we blindly take

I'm taking it with you and no other

No hesitating

And if our minds they go

And our bones they shatter

We'll put it on nobody

But ourselves

It's an old refrain

Lover, that we hear again

Urging a cautious measure

Sounding a warning

It's a thin escape

Lover, that we hope to make

When we're beaten, broken and battered

Beyond consoling

And the breezes blow

And to the winds we're scattered

And we're fending for nobody

But ourselves

It's a fool's, fool's game

When you've nothing but a heart to break

Better keep on breaking it, lover

Until it opens

It's a speeding train

Beating through the pouring rain

With no way to slow or stop it

And the tracks are broken

Like a rising wave

Through the storms we gather

And we're falling on nobody

But ourselves
