PLAYING CHESS by Tom Jensen full lyrics click (more) poemsbytom.com PLAYING CHESS Burning up...Burning out... Sitting in an ashtray... With no way out... Walking in circles... Across hot coals... Something landed on my lap... Only God knows... This is some new sh#$... Highly funky... Caged like a monkey... Start by turning one key... End up as a junky... You may say highly unlikely... But you could end up just like me.... If you say yes... Would your life be a mess? It's anyone's guess... Well, life's like playing chess... Let me explain my life In a way that you can see it I'm fighting a battle I'm playing a game But I'll never beat it In white and black... In black and red... So many moves... Yet each one must be wise... Just to escape total domination... In that there is no compromise All the devils have eyes... Some wear suits and ties... And tell dirty lies... Some things just won't die Someone watching From way up high Is playing chess with my mind And I think the general He wants me to die As he sends me to the front Of the battle lines I've been a pawn For far too long Even though I'm still fighting I don't know which side I'm on Every time I look behind me The general's gone I hear checkmate I now stand alone And half-way around the world Is a long way from home Somehow I was taken And played just like a fool And I was mistaken Thinking everyone plays By the same rules When I smash the board I'll free myself When I drop my gun They'll enlist someone else I am no hero I've lost all hope Of saving mankind If I can save myself Then at least I won't be wasting time If I ever get that far Then I'll try to free the others One at a time Show them what to be weary of And all the warning signs For even on top of the world There are still mountains to climb... Because high above An angel cries And down below Even storms have eyes What grows in me I now despise Deep inside another man dies Blood clot...........Gunshot It's all the same Heartache......A big mistake Just part of the game Weeds growing wild A saddened child Just who is to blame? Another birthday cake Wear black at the wake We're so glad you came It's a vicious cycle You better stay on your toes It's a downward spiral It comes and goes
