Captain Mantis - The Game Lyrics

Beautiful desires are meeting in your head
Picking on your cross, making waves of lust again
You want to be alone, to die alone
Better leave a room for hope
Learn the way to play the game
There's hell for those who won't

Whether you want to, whether you don't
Sometimes you pick yourself up from the floor
Whether you want to, whether you don't
We're trying to keep the love since 1964

Show me the way
Well, this is not the time or place to put your feelings on the ground
For every mistake you make
Listen to your head
While making love your only state of mind
Learn to play the game

Lying in the corner with those pearls around your neck
Little do they know, it was you who put them there
You want to love again, to laugh again
But you're far away from home
This is how we play the game
'Cause life is just a loan

Whether you want to, whether you don't
Sometimes you pick yourself up from the floor
Whether you want to, whether you don't
We're trying to keep the love since 1964

Show me the way
Well, this is not the time or place to put your feelings on the ground
For every mistake you make
Listen to your head
While making love your only state of mind
Learn to play the game

Whether you want to, whether you don't
Sometimes you pick yourself up from the floor
Whether you want to, whether you don't
We're trying to keep the love since 1964

Show me the way
Well, this is not the time or place to put your feelings on the ground
For every mistake you make
Listen to your head
While making love your only state of mind
Learn to play the game

Whether you want to, whether you don't
We keep the love since '64
Whether you want to, whether you don't
Learn to play the game
