When you cut me down
You’re the first to catch me
When you step into my house
You bend the rules
I just think it’s so inspired, the way that you were wired
And now I’m like guessing, cut the green wire
But then you swan around, cause bust-ups like clockwork
Only then to find you feel so alone
Only feel that I should have kept you in your cellophane wrapping
As there’s no returns

What is the game that you play?
Who are the people inside your brain?
Why is it so?
Only you know who you are my friend

All I really ask is don’t stand in my sunlight
All it really takes is to know your place
It’s just that it’s so explicitly been explained to me
The reasons you’re a demon and I should get away

What is the game that you play?
Who are the people inside your brain?
Or will you attest to your devilish ways?
Why is it so?
Only you know who you are my friend

Life, oh, coming to get you
Far faster than you’d even know
So pack all your things and go
Don’t look back, we don’t negotiate with ghosts
No, for me it moves so slow, oh
Why do people never ever grow?
Change, stuck in stasis
Light me up
You might say I see you

Do you have a heart
Or is it complicated?
Do you have the wisdom to know who you are?
Or is it that you’re starved of affection
And in need of attention
As protection for your inner child?
When you gotta put up a fight, it ain’t right
When you gotta read the signals on the turnstile lights, take flight
When you find you duck down, come back around
She takes you up and down
You gotta bow out

What is the game that you play?
Who are the people inside your brain?
Will you continue to bore me with this game?
Or will you attest to your devilish ways?
Why is it so?
Only you know who you are my friend

Hold tight when you need to unwind,
It’s never more than a few second away
By design I put aside time where I just go with the flow
Like never mind
Light My Fire is playing on the DAB radio again
Me and Iris, some of the guys, we can get by just fine
We’re playing a different game
