Watch them go - 'cause one by one they rise to fall
  Hearts in tow - it's just a game - she's only having fun
  She laughs and turns away
  Surprised, she mocks - it's all the same
  Tonight's the loss - tomorrow's gain, and in the end it's so
  
  Stand in line as one by one they march in time
  In the wings I stand and watch these foolish things go by
  Just preparing for the play - aloof she moves
  The confidante with practiced step
  The merry dance - she executes her role
  
  As the cavalcade begins to thin, do you stop and look around
  Free to choose but not to win - you're just too late
  Your show is at an end - now you're the victim of your game
  Through your fingers watch them slip
  Familiar rules just hit and miss for the one who never shows
