I'm a player in a game
That never ever ends
Travelling down a river
That surely always bends
The cards are mixed and dealt
But still their worth might change
The rules remain unknown
This game is really strange
And the river doesn't care
On its way to the ocean
It's flowing and bending
A snake in slow motion
It's crawling and hissing
Like any other year
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
We all pretend we're winning
But that's just part of the game
All we can hope is someone
Somewhere remembers our name
All we can hope is someone
Somewhere remembers our name
And the river doesn't care
On its way to the ocean
It's flowing and bending
A snake in slow motion
It's crawling and hissing
Like any other year
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
So we keep on playing
With our lifetime flying
Once we leave the table
We are surely dying
Once we leave the table
We are surely dying
And the river doesn't care
On its way to the ocean
It's flowing and bending
A snake in slow motion
It's crawling and hissing
Like any other year
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
Without ever knowing
When the end is near
I'm a player in a game
That never ever ends
Travelling down a river
That surely always bends
The cards are mixed and dealt
But still their worth might change
The rules remain unknown
This game is really strange
