It's a Game

The clown came down to meet me
 With a smile upon his face
 He fired his starting pistol
 And began the human race
 There were faces all around me
 They were running everywhere
 But everywhere is nowhere
 And nowhere isn't there
 It's a game
 A game
 A game that we're playing
 Well
 I don't mind but I don't make the rules
 It's a game
 A game
 A game that we're playing
 Just a game for lovers and fools
 There's snakes upon your ladder
 And there's dice upon your skirt
 There's lipstick on my collar
 And there's sweat upon my shirt
 The neighbours wiil start talking
 But you know that I don't care
 For the neighbours they are nowhere
 And nowhere isn't there
 It's a game
 A game
 A game that we're playing
