Weird scenes are coming through the airwaves

From a flickering tube

An old film with an older theme

And those actors could be us

But the ending is good so I'm thinking

"There's the rub"



Later when we meet

It's emotion going through the motions

A kick to break up or a kiss to make up

But then there'll be another scene

Like the one yesterday



When we say hello, we mean goodbye

Feigning paradise, wanting to cry

Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say

Is part of the game we play



So we're into action on cue

And go spinning like a reel

Summing up this relationship

And the way I feel



I think maybe we should go on out

Into the moonlight, out of the spotlight

And examine where we are and where we've been to

Where we're going is down without a happy ending



When we say hello we mean goodbye

Feigning paradise, wanting to cry

Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say

Is part of the game we play
