There are unsmiling faces
and bright plastic chains
And a wheel
in perpetual motion
And they follow the races
and pay out the gains
With no show of
outward emotion
And they think it will
make their lives easier
For god knows up till now
it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
There's a sign in the desert
that lies to the west
Where you can't
tell the night
from the sunrise
And not all's the
king's horse
and all the king's men
Have prevented the
fall of the unwise
For they think it will
make their lives easier
And god knows it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of
a friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn
of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in
search of a shrine
As he enters
inside the cathedral
There are unsmiling faces
and bright plastic chains
And a wheel
in perpetual motion
And they follow the races
and pay out the gains
With no show of
outward emotion
And they think it will
make their lives easier
For god knows up till now
it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of a
friendly card
There's a sign in the desert
that lies to the west
Where you can't
tell the night
from the sunrise
And not all's the
king's horse
and all the king's men
Have prevented the
fall of the unwise
For they think it will
make their lives easier
And god knows it's been hard
But the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn of
a friendly card
No the game never ends
when your whole
world depends
On the turn
of a friendly card
But a pilgrim must follow in
search of a shrine
As he enters
inside the cathedral
