Endgame

Tonight all the thieves in the temple
Are laughing a little too loud
With coy observations about situations
That once stood so proud
Getting high on the safety of distance
They run all their best lines
So secure in the knowledge the blood that was spilled...
It's not theirs this time...

La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La

And gone are those nights undercover
At least where together's concerned
That some other lovers are fanning the flames...
They used to burn
And with tongues now used only for lashing
Seems like nothing that they wouldn't say
Wondering when what they had did it all go so bad
And slip right away...

And here we go over and over
Dancing around it again
And when do you learn when you crash gonna burn...
And nobody wins
Yeah and nothing's the same
When you're playing the endgame...
La La La La La La La La La
When you're playing the endgame...
La La La La La La La La La

And she's got her fey indignation
And he's got his self-righteous tone
Right now they're wondering if being together
Is different than being alone
And their promises scattered like cowards
Cross the desert of things that they do
And the fingers are pointing but each of 'em knows
Where the bodies are hid...

And here we go over and over
Dancing around it again
And when do you learn when you crash gonna burn...
And nobody wins...

Yeah here we go over and over
Dancing around it again
And when do you learn when you crash gonna burn...
And nobody wins...

Yeah and nothing's the same
When you're playing the endgame...
La La La La La La La La La
