La Santa Cecilia and Elvis Costello - Losing Game

You got me up
You got me down
Hard to the ground
Or flying around

You call me back
Back to the start
Another labyrinth
Where I get lost

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

We start to fight
I put up my palms
Some hands are swift and sleight
And deceptive like dreams
And words like screams
That you let go
You take scissors to the cards
And the hand I won't show

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

Let in my dear
Did you lose your way
Remember the rules of the game that we play

You got me up
You got me down
Hard to the ground
Or flying around

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
I can't afford to lose another bet

Why do we play this losing game
For every step ahead
Is a wall and I'm dead
How do you make me lose my head
