If you can't break the rules, don't play the game The silence that you crave will come around too often When you're the only one whose left to blame You gather up the baggage for your coffin And in the bright lights of the restaurant where nothing seems to fade You can feel the crushing weight of all the promises you made That can't be true The stranger on the highway seems to show Desire to move on in one direction Trouble is you've got no place to go Still somehow you know there's a connection And in the headlights of the passing cars the fear all fades away An Eastern glow directs you to the coming of the day t T hat's meant for you The sounds from all around they tell the story The game is played the choice you made you're bound for glory If you can't break the rules, don't play the game The silence that you crave will come around too often When you're the only one whose left to blame You gather up the baggage for your coffin And in the bright lights of the restaurant where nothing seems to fade You can feel the crushing weight of all the promises you made In that passing second the future will change Your crocodile tears are now real and it's strange How all that you wanted is all that you hold Your muscular grip on it all has grown suddenly, hopelessly cold
