The Turn Of A Friendly Card

    Something's wrong in this House today

    While the Master was riding the Servants decided to play

    Something's wrong in this House today

    Something's been going on there may be a price to pay



    There's evil brewing, getting out of control

    And I'm helpless I can't put it right

    Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul

    And it's cold in the heat of the night



    Something's wrong in this House today

    While the Sorcerer slept the Apprentice decided to play

    While the Master was hiding the Servants decided to play

    Might be too much Sun or too much of something in the Air

    Whatever's happening nobody else is aware



    There's evil brewing, getting out of control

    And I'm helpless I can't put it right

    Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul

    And it's cold in the heat of the night



    Something's wrong in this House today

    Something's been going on there may be a price to pay

    Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up

    And how do we spend our lives if there's noone to lend us a hand



    I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay

    Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away



    Games people play, You take it or you leave it

    Things that they say, Honor Brite

    If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it

    Games people play in the middle of the night



    Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up

    And how do we spend our lives knowin' nobody gives us a damn



    I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay

    Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away



    Games people play, You take it or you leave it

    Things that they say, Just don't make it right

    If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it

    Games people play in the middle of the night

    Go back home you damn fool

    Surely you know you can't win

    You should never have come near this place

    You should have stayed outside, Lookin' in



    It's too late to turn back

    Nobody asked you to try

    But they blinded you with diamonds

    And all the money that money can buy



    And I'm so afraid of being on my own

    But I don't wanna go home



    You can't win you damn fool

    You drank all the wine from the cup

    And your painted lady's gone now

    And you're way back on the downside, Lookin' up



    You can't catch the monkey on your back

    Nobody asked you to try

    But for every heart they held a spade

    And you lost more than money can buy



    And I'm so afraid of being on my own

    But I don't wanna go home



    I'm like a washed up rag

    Tattered and torn

    I wish I'd never been born



    And I'm so afraid of being on my own

    But I don't wanna go home

    I'm like a down and  out just blowin' my horn

    Oh I don't wanna go home



    I'm like a washed up rag

    Tattered and torn

    Oh I don't wanna go home

        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

        But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine

        As he enters inside the cathedral...

        Nothing's good the news is bad

        The heat goes on and it drives you mad

        Scornful thoughts that fly your way

        You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say



        You gave the best you had to give

        You only had one life to live

        You fought so hard you were a slave

        After all you gave there was nothing left to save



        You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)

        No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)



        Nothing ventured nothing gained

        No more lingering doubt remained

        Nothing sacred or profane

        Everything to gain

        Cause you've nothing left

        There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains

        On a wheel of perpetual motion

        Who belong to all races and answer all names

        With no show of outward emotion



        And they think it will make their lives easier

        But the doorway before them is barred

        And 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
