Words of comfort and love
Spoken in design
Turn cruel, unkind
You have your ready treasure of sin
And it all begins
With an innocent smile.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know, wo-oh.

Whisper she is safe
That you sympathize
The darkest lies
When you know right now you'll be gone
At the kiss of dawn
Your conscience runs clear.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Hey, who am I to lay the blame
When it's all a game to you.

You and I misfired
Left me cold and tired
Hey love, it's alright.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I don't keep score (don't keep score)
No not anymore
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Hey, who am I to lay the blame
When it's just a game.

No, in the back of your mind
The pattern's starting to unwind
And you know you're alone (know you're alone)
Oh, and you smile anyhow
When the moment allows
Make a play for her now.
