So enter this life and choose the squares |
|
Choose wisely where you really want to stand. |
|
So start ticking time and mark the end. |
|
So I know when it dies, so |
|
I know the aim. |
|
I love the feverish tickle that gets me |
|
When all again - and again - is set to fall |
|
When they think they've been running for ages - on and on. |
|
But hardly moved a square at all - at all. |
|
Now sleep my pawn - to play the game |
|
The game that all of you have come to see. |
|
The game that's played for you alone - me alone? |
|
And be amused how it struggles on - and on. |
|
Enter the lies - on to the stage! |
|
And close your eyes - go on - be born! |
