Cold Chisel - The Game - 2011 Remastered lyrics
Artist: Cold Chisel
album: Twentieth Century
"Who's that on the telephone"
The fisherman said
"Looks like a writer"
She turned her head
"Could be, we'll see"
Ma ring replied
"There were rumours when he came"
(And as the evening fell) and as the evening fell
(Around the old hotel) around the old hotel
(The stranger left his dial-tone
His place was gone)
In the game
"He's down from the city
And he's here to think
He pays his money"
She got another drink
"Who knows, his book
Is closed to you and I
We may never know his name"
(The music drifted down) music drifted down
(The same repeated sound) same repeated sound
("If Nat King Cole can save his sole
He'll find his peace")
The fisherman eased his frame
"If I was asked just who's to blame
To read his past I'd have to say
(She's a woman")
(She's a woman, she's a woman, she's a woman)
When all your cards are done
Just leave your share
And make your run
They'll burn your contacts down
Plans on fire
You know they've won
(Just turn and walk away) turn and walk away
(And start again, a brand new day) start again, a brand new day
(In loneliness their aim will turn against themselves
For one more play)
In the game
(Just turn and walk away) turn and walk away
(And start again, a brand new day) start again, a brand new day
(In loneliness their aim will turn against themselves
For one more play)
In the game
