Strut your stuff, you're on display
Climbing high, come what may
Cutting corners, making deals
Don't you wonder how it feels
To see the faces you stepped on
To count the hearts you've drawn upon
It's a ladder made of glass
Watch your step or you might crash
Karma's got a career too
Just as you act, it follows through
Watching every little thing you do
It's seen it all, before you knew
High stakes, high rise, but at what cost
When the game's won, what have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
Smile for cameras, hide your game
But shadows linger, just the same
Every slick move, every play
Karma's noting, come what may
Do you think you're out of reach
Every lesson that you preach
Comes back around, a mirrored tale
When the winds of fortune sail
Karma's got a career too
Just as you act, it follows through
Watching every little thing you do
It's seen it all, before you knew
High stakes, high rise, but at what cost
When the game's won, what have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
Can you switch the script, start to give
Change the story of how you live
There's time to turn the wheel around
Plant your feet back on the ground
Karma's got a career too
Just as you act, it follows through
Watching every little thing you do
It's seen it all, before you knew
High stakes, high rise, but at what cost
When the game's won, what have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
High stakes, high rise, but at what cost
When the game's won, what have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
What have you lost
