Watch them go 'cause one by one they rise to fallHearts in tow, it's just a game - she's only having funShe laughs and turns away surprisedShe mocks it all the sameTonight's the loss tomorrow's gain and in the end it's soStand in line as one by one they march in timeIn the wings I stand and watch these foolish things go byJust preparing for the play aloof she movesThe confidante, with practiced stepThe merry dance she executes her roleAs the cavalcade begins to thin, do you stop and look aroundFree to choose but not to win - you're just too lateYour show is at an end - now you're the victim of your gameThrough your fingers watch them slipFamiliar rules just hit and miss for the one who never shows
