Watch them go, 'cause one be one they rise to fall Hearts in tow; it's just a game; she's only having fun She laughs and turns away surprised; she mocks it all the same Tonight's the loss; tomorrow's gain and in the end it's so Stand in line, 'cause one by one they march in time In the wings I stand and watch these foolish things go by Just preparing for the play; aloof, she moves The confidante, with practice steps The memory dance she executes; her role, oh As the cavalcade begins to thin, do you stop and look around? Free to choose but not to win, you're just too late Your show is at an end; now you're the victim of your game Through your fingers watch them slip Familiar rules just hit and miss for the one who never shows
