The Game (Dutch TV 5/97)

A sense of duty

Was my one intention

And an ugly beauty

Was my own invention

Pride a proud refusal

And I refuse

To need your approval

Too many seekers

Too few beacons

But through the fog

We'll keep on beamingThrough the crying hours

Of your glitter years

All the living out

Of your tinsel tears

And the midnight trains

I never made

'Cause I'd already

Played the gameEverybody's

Got their own good reason

Why their favorite season

Is their favorite season

Winter winners

And those summers sons

Aren't good for everyone

Aren't good for everyone

Spring has sprung

And autumns well done

So well doneAnd it's a better thing

That we do now

Forgetting everything

The whys and how's

While you reminisce

About the things you miss

You won't be ready

To kiss goodbyeThe earth is a world

The world is a ball

A ball in a game

With no rules at all

And just as I wonder

At the beauty of it all

You go and drop it

And it breaks and fallsI'll never understand

Why you thought I would

Need to be reassured

And be understood

When I always knew

That your bad's my good

And I was ready

Ready to be lovedBorn under mars

With Jupiter rising

Fallen from stars

That lit my horizonI'll never understand

Why you thought I would

Need to be reassured

And be understood

When I always knew

That your bad's my good

And I was ready

Ready to beThrough the crying hours

Of your glitter years

All the living out

Of your tinsel tears

And the midnight trains

I never made

'Cause I'd already

PlayedIt's a better thing

That we do now

Forgetting everything

The whys and how's

While you reminisce

About the things you miss

You won't be ready

To kiss goodbye
