Van Der Graaf Generator - Into A Game Lyrics

Never thought it could come to this
As you sit there crying
Hanging on with your fingertips
To something that's already dead

Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange

Once on a time, we were sincere
Now, we're acting charades
Hiding behind cracked images
From other people's stages

Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
But familiar too
The rules never change
I know it, but do you?


Let's solve it now

I've seen it all before
And this play no longer moves me
But the closing of a door
Is never easy

Look at the cards in your hand
Kings turn to jokers
There are no prizes for laughing
Situation hopeless

Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
But familiar too
The rules never change
I know it, but do you?

Let's solve it now

It's no good looking to me
For reassurance
It's hard and I need you to show me
Your bruised innocence

Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game

Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game

Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
Into a game, into a game
