[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I never thought it could come to this
As you sit there crying
Hanging on with your fingertips
To something that's already dead
[Chorus 1]
Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
[Verse 2]
Once on a time we were sincere;
Now, we're acting charades
Hiding behind cracked images
From other people's stages;
[Chrous 2]
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?
[Post-Chorus]
Let's stop it now
[Bridge]
I've seen it all before
And this play no longer moves me
But the closing of a door is never easy
[Verse 3]
Look at the cards in your hands:
Kings turned to jokers
There are no prizes for laughing:
Situation hopeless
[Chorus 2]
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?
[Post-Chorus]
Let's stop it now
[Verse 4]
It's no good looking to me for reassurance
I'm tired and don't need you to show me your bruised innocence
[Break]
[Outro]
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, we're into a game
Into a game...
