I Will Play My Game beneath the Spin Light

by Espoirfailed   Jul 15, 2007


Tonight that light won't stop spinning,
And it's a shame that fat lady won't stop singing,
Because apparently it's not over 'til she does.

All I ever cared for was a little bit of fun,
But you've got that look in your eyes telling me I hurt you.
I used to care. I'm sorry but
we only have this existence to blame for making my skin so tough.
I can't quite believe you were actually looking for love.
I can't quite believe you thought you were good enough.

Can somebody hand me the dice,
It's my turn.
It's my turn.
I'm spinning sixes beneath the spin light.
Baby, I'll be spinning sixes all night.
You could say I'm cheating,
But I wouldn't like to confront myself-
I'd love to see you do it dear.

I didn't change into this,
My boots were always one size to small.
Yeah, I'm too big for them,
But, Darling, Darling they couldn't handle me.

No, don't even try to outwit me.
Sarcastic slews about my hearing being defective,
I'll just laugh and utter one word:
Selective.

I'm sizing up my opponents-
Could you hand me a smaller ruler?
I could eat you like the tiger who came to tea
But I'd rather not have the negative publicity.

You should look worried,
After all you're playing me.
I'm not settling it now.
No.
I will play my game tonight.
I will play my game under the spin light.

And I will get it right.
I always get it right.
