[ Featuring Elvis Costello ]
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
