Game Above My Head

(album: Mange Tout - 1984)

Someone touched me late last night
Someone tried to tie me down
Passing by at such a height
Smashing down the laughing clown

Don't tell me I'm looking well
For the truth will never tell
Cut me down, let me sleep
Promises I'll never, never keep

Something moved me in the night
Someone tried to pin me down
Asking questions, who was right
Telling me I wear the crown

Don't ask me what's on my mind
For the truth you'll never ever find
And don't tell lies no more
There's nothing left to hide
A clown can lose his foolish pride

I tried to tell you
So many times before
Give me back my pride
I could hardly ask for more

I tried in every way
To get this through to you
I missed by miles
My message won't go through

I tried in every way
To get this through to you
I missed by miles
My message won't go through

Don't ask me what's on my mind
For the truth you'll never ever find
And don't tell lies no more
There's nothing left to hide
A clown can lose his foolish pride

Don't tell me I'm looking well
For the truth will never tell
Cut me down, let me sleep
That's a promise I'll never, never keep

Someone touched me late last night
Someone tried to tie me down
Something moved me in the night
Someone tried to pin me down
