Scorching the painted desert adrift off of Donovan's reef

Tossing and spinning your pills alone brings such sweet relief.

Open your mind and show me a sign to prove you're insane.

Open your arms and show me the scars reflecting your pain.



Lovely lady, forgive me now

If words seem cruel

If words seem cruel.

You've lost your soul

You've grown so cold

You've learned the rules,

Obey the rules of their game:

Life's just a game.



Pig boat sails across the seven seas

Servants at home are down on their knees

The master's praying and begging me, "Please

Look away."



Diamonds shining through an emerald sky

Watch the phantom as he flies by

Trying to laugh but he knows he must die.

Look away, look away, look away.



Satan dances of death and doom our time has finally come

Lower imps of sin sing an orgy of our flesh begun.

Excuse me, I can't seem to recall exactly what's happening here,

Your mask in the past always seemed to me to be so sincere.



She's stolen you away

Taken your heart

Once it was mine,

Ah once it was mine.

You look so cool

But I'm no fool

You'll pay for your crimes

By doing your time in their game,

Life's just a game

Life's just a game

You know that life is just a game

Life's just a game

Life's only a game...
