Took myself out for a walk
down to Leicester Square.
People running round and round
without a care.
Walked right up to Compton Street
looking for eye candy.
Drag queens and daddy bears
making out they`re happy.
Saw a girl in a see-thru top on rollerskates,
Well she was great.
And a guy with a hairdo in a silver dress,
he was in a state.
Well those I games I used to play,
I don`t play them anymore.
Well those are games I used to play,
now it`s all a a bore.
Life`s a game, a game we play,
we know that we`re in it
but we play it anyway.
See that old girl lying
on the street ?
She`s cold and hungry,
she ain`t got nowhere to sleep.
See that guy in the dapper suit ?
He`s got the money
and he don`t give a hoot.
Roller skates she go skating by,
hairdo-guy, he just turn and smile.
Preacher preaching armageddon,
guess I won`t be going to heaven.
Life`s a game, a game we play,
we know that we`re in it
but we play it anyway.
Who`s that guy standing by the door
of the sex shop ?
Well he`s a cop.
Making eyes at the guy in the boots
and the leather top,
well don`t they rock.
Well those I games I used to play,
I don`t play them anymore.
Those are games I used to play,
now they`re it`s all a bore.
Life`s a game, a game we play,
we know that we`re in it,
but we play it anyway.
