We Grow Old Too Soon

The deck is marked NX
The game never ending

Even though we know

It’s gone on too long

Kisses in the dark

Messages we're sending =
Just a. matter of time

Before we're dead and gone

Inside your white lies
You find your freedom
Behind your gold mask
You hide your tears
Nobody gets to know
What you're feelin’
‘Cause you measure love
Like you treasure fear

And like mad dogs howlin’ at the moon -
Darlin’ we grow old too soon

You move the pieces

From square to square

Your velvet glove \
Rubs the ebony pawn er

But nothing changes *

Till the queen is dead

The game is just for show

And the show must go on

Inside your dark eyes

I see no love y
Behind your gold mask

You laugh at me

And on your canvas 9

You paint a rainbow \

In the gaudy colours b

Of your insanity
