(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow)
|
|
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
|
And a wheel in perpetual motion
|
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
|
With no show of outward emotion
|
|
And they think it will make their lives easier
|
For God knows up till now it's been hard
|
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
|
On the turn of a friendly card
|
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
|
On the turn of a friendly card
|
|
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
|
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
|
And not all's the king's horse and all the king's men
|
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
|
|
For they think it will make their lives easier
|
And God knows it's been hard
|
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
|
On the turn of a friendly card
|
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
|
On the turn of a friendly card
|
|
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
|
As he enters inside the cathedral...
