another player


i took a lot of chances
maybe they were wrong
maybe i am paying now
as you have been all along

isn't that what it’s about
what we call real life
and when the circus ended
we both turned out the lights

took a chance and placed a bet
on a thing that made us blind
left our own reality
to create a piece of time ...

our castle crumbled slowly round me
but was it really there
had it all been built on dreams
pretty lies whispered to the air

if i fell hard, don't let it wake you
this thing, too, shall pass
another lover, with clever lines
will also break this heart of glass.

taking chances - sometimes wrong ones
placing bets and stealing hearts
bodies hot, at midnight burning ...
and ending things that shouldn't start ~

play on ....
