Lyrics
Stalemate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thick fingers round my neck are grasping in
Waiting for the moment to slide in
Have a drink and let this game begin
Flash light Polaroid and one cheap glass of wine
I think the moon is full I've come undone
Pieces fall this game has just begun
Oh play me the next move is you
Oh play me in my game you lose
White light spins through the fog and shine upon the beach
I touch the moon but it's too far from reach
Just like you I see you but I can't touch you now
Oh play me the next move is you
Oh play me in my game you lose
Stalemate the next move is you
So play me I lay here
