Losing Game

You got me up You got me down Hard to the ground Or flying around You call me back Back to the start Another labyrinth Where I get lost Why do we play this losing game For every step ahead Is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head I can't afford to lose another bet We start to fight I put up my palms Some hands are swift and sleight And deceptive like dreams And words like screams That you let go You take scissors to the cards And the hand I won't show Why do we play this losing game For every step ahead Is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head I can't afford to lose another bet Let in my dear (?) Did you lose your way Remember the rules of the game that we play You got me up You got me down Hard to the ground Or flying around Why do we play this losing game For every step ahead Is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head I can't afford to lose another bet Why do we play this losing game For every step ahead Is a wall and I'm dead How do you make me lose my head
