Into a Game - Van Der Graaf Generator

Never thought it could come to this
As you sit there crying
Hanging on with your fingertips
To something that's already dead
Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
Once on a time we were sincere
Now we're acting charades
Hiding behind cracked images
From other people's stages
Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
But familiar too
The rules never change
I know it but do you
Let's solve it now
I've seen it all before
And this play no longer moves me
But the closing of a door
Is never easy
Look at the cards in your hand
Kings turn to jokers
There are no prizes for laughing
Situation hopeless
Now we're into a game
And it's all a bit strange
But familiar too
The rules never change
I know it but do you
Let's solve it now
It's no good looking to me
For reassurance
It's hard and I need you to show me
Your bruised innocence
