The Beautiful Game

Stumbling drunk through the garden

I see you design in 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

Know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

To say that you don't need it, baby

Oh it's 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 gonna do now?

The die has been cast

And the wheel has stopped spinning

Rotating 'til the cycle ends

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

Know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

To say that you don't need it, baby

Oh it's such a beautiful game

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

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

Throw it away

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

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

Throw it away

Slow down, baby please

When you drive until the morning

You will see

Hold your breath for me

When you're falling you will see symmetry

Slow down, sit with me

When you drive until the morning

You will see

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

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

You got everything you wanted

You got everything you needed

Know it's hard to believe it, oh

That you got what you wanted

You're never gonna need it baby

Oh it's 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
