Pawn Game

Break down again about your time

About time you read between the lines

You can't, you can't try any harder

To break down the wall built by your father

Don't try to say I'm angry, I hate when you throw that shit on me

I ain't a pawn, babe, I ain't your chess piece

Like a lawn, babe, it's never ending

And I hear you talking at me, but I really wasn't listening

And I can't, I can't get words out

Come on, babe, won't you tell us how you feel about

Sometimes I'm friends with myself, and sometimes I hang it up on the shelf

And I can't, I can't perceive you

Come on, babe, I'd never deceive you

And why do you say I'm angry

When I tell you on the contrary

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, la-la-la-la, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

As the tide settles in, a great object appears in the sky

It's hovering over Manhattan

I feel we're all in grave danger

As a beam of light strikes me down

And I take my place behind the iron curtain

Break down again about your time

About time you read between the lines

You can't, you can't try any harder

To break down the wall built by your father

Don't try to say I'm angry

I hate when you throw that shit on me

I ain't a pawn, babe, I ain't your chess piece

Like a lawn, babe, it's never ending

And I hear you talking at me, but I really wasn't listening

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, la-la-la-la, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

And with infinite complacence, people went to and fro over the Earth

About their little affairs, serene in the assurance of their dominion

Over this small spinning fragment of solar driftwood

By which chance, or design man has inherited

Out of the dark mystery of time and space

Yet across an immense ethereal gulf

Minds that to our minds as ours are to the beasts of the jungle

Intellects vast, cool, and unsympathetic

Regarded this Earth

And with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, drew their plans against us
