New Game

The cards that you dealt me
Were played very carefully
Hearts and diamonds
Few and far between

Clubs to beat me down
Spades to dig my grave
But now I’ve got a new game
And all I want to do is
Play

Tick tock ticking of the clock is a cold warning
I think you’re out of time
Done with the charade, think I’ll stay another day?
You must be out of your mind
 See the bridge is burning, it’s the point of no return, baby
Can’t you read the signs?
Find another toy another undercover lover
You’ll be just fine

The towers that surround you
Pawns bent to your will
Servants to your secret fire
I guess it burns there still

Those (k)nights kept me in check
My queen, you ruled my days
But now I’ve got a new game
And all I want to do is
Play
