about

The live version, as seen on youtube.

lyrics

Sitting on your white and fluffy cloud
Don't know what you're doing don't wanna come down
I hate to tell you this is what you left behind.

Well yes, life's a mess but I would have thought
That someone would have showed you how it worked
Hiding your head has never solved a thing.

Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.

Shut out the crushing dark
Take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid,
It's just the way we play the game.

Floating in your blue lagoon
Just drifting where the world pulls you
What's your purpose when all you do is stare?

Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.

Shut out the crushing dark
Take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid,
It's just the way we play the game.

Games, games, games, just play the game.
Games, (don't you want to play the)
Games, (come along and play the)
Games, just play the game.

Oo-oo-h, just take a step back, oh
Grab your life back.

Shut out the crushing dark
Take a good old look inside your heart
It doesn't take much to feel afraid,
It's just the way we play the game.
