So enter this life and choose the squares Choose wisely Where you really want to stand So start ticking time and mark the end So I know when it dies So I know the aim I love the feverish tickle that gets me When all again - and again - is set to fall When they think they've been running for ages On and on But hardly moved a square at all At all Now sleep my pawn - to play the game The game that all of you have come to see The game that's played for you alone - me alone? And be amused how it struggles on - and on Enter the lies - on to the stage! And close your eyes - go on - be born!
