There's a way just walk the line 
 Keep your direction 
 And read the signs 
 Just play the game or fade away 
 Make your confessions and book a ride 
    Now that your sparkling smile is outworn 
 Now that your famous blue raincoat is torn 
 Spin me a lie and we'll slip through the haze 
 Just like Louise we'll get lost in the shades   
 Change your name and change your face 
 For your protection and the new day 
 Believe in me you can be free 
 Escape the aggression and book that ride   
 Now you're a rat and you can't sleep at night 
 Under the spell of the following eye 
 This is the game there's no getting out 
 I've seen the end and it looks like a nine 
 You feel the chill that just crept down your spine 
 This time, the last surrender 
 The axe won't be buried, not ever, not sorry 
 It is too late to worry   
 Now you're a rat and you can't sleep at night 
 Under the spell of the following eye 
 This is the game there's no getting out 
 I've seen the end and it looks like a nine 
 You feel the chill that just crept down your spine 
 This time, the last surrender 
 The axe won't be buried, not ever, not sorry 
 It is too late to worry
