Into A Game lyrics

I never thought it could come to this,

As you sit there crying,

Hanging on with your fingertips

To something that's already dead.

Now we're into a game

And it's all a bit strange.

Once on a time we were sincere;

Now, we're acting charades,

Hiding behind cracked images

From other people's stages;

Now, we're into a game,

And it's all a bit strange,

But familiar, too

The rules never change; I know it, but do you?

I've seen it all before,

And this play no longer moves me,

But the closing of a door

Is never easy.
