Well, as I walk on down.

 I feel like a clown

 In a circus of my own.

 Oh, my cover, it's blown.

Feel like I got a heart made of tin.

 I thought of you this morning.

 Well. I sleep into a state.

As I awake,

 oh, Well. I start to find

 that I can't get your smoke out of my eyes.

I guess I lose, guess you win.

 I thought of you this morning.

 Oh, well, I think about all the other ways I could've played,

all the other simple moves I could've made,

all the other cards that I could've dealt,

all the books I didn't read upon my shelf,

all the other ways I could've sung my songs;

realized that none of it wen't wrong.

 It was all play.

 How could it be any other way?

 How could it be any other way?

Now that the chains are off, I'm free to roam.

Ev'rywhere I go, I feel like I've gone home.

Nothing hides; ev'rything is shown.

She's always with me; I'm never alone.

Guess you lose. guess I win, yeah.

 I thought of you this morning.

 Oh, well, I think about all the other ways I could've played,

all the other simple moves I could've made,

all the other cards that I could've dealt,

all the books I didn't read upon my shelf,

all the other ways I could've sung my songs;

realized that none of it wen't wrong.

 It was all play.

 How could it be any other way? Yeah.

 Oh, how could it be any other way?

 How could it be any other way?

 It was all play.

 How could it be any other way?

 It was all play

 How could it be any other way?

 It was all play

 How could it be any other way?

 It was all play

 How could it be any other way?
