The Beautiful Game

Stumbling drunk through the garden

I see you designing your empty room

Now the seduction gets old

With the dots and all the crosses

But symmetry looks good on you, oh

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

I know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

You say that you don't need it, baby

Oh, ain't it such a beautiful game

It's too fast

It's too slow

You can't be serious

It's a lie to think of this love

As anything but laughing at a choir boy

So what you going to do now?

The die's been cast

And the wheel has stopped spinning

Rotating 'til the side collapse

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

I know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

To say that you don't need it, baby

Oh, ain't it such a beautiful game

(It's too fast, it's too slow)

You want it, you've got it, you take it

Throw it away

(It's too fast, it's too slow)

You want it, you've got it, you take it

Throw it away

Slow down, baby please

When you jump into the water

You will see

Hold your breath for me

When you're falling you will see the symmetry

Slow down, secretly

When you jump into the water

You will see

It's too fast, it's too slow

It's too fast, it's too slow

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

I know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

You're never gonna need it, baby

Oh, ain't it such a beautiful game

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

You want it, you got it, you take it

Throw it away

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

You want it, you've got it, you take it

Throw it away
