"It's dark, but just a game" That's what he would say to me The faces aren't the same But their stories all end tragically (Sweet, but whatever, baby) And that's the price of fame A tale as old as time, you'd be (Sweet, but whatever, baby) A pretty little fool to think exceptions still rule Just walk along, like you and me, this way But life is sweet, but whatever, baby You gotta take them for what they got And while the whole world is crazy We're getting high in a parking lot We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game So play it like a symphony You know our love's the same They'll both go down in infamy I was a pretty little thing And God, I loved to sing But nothing came from either one but pain (but fuck it) Life is sweet, but whatever, baby Don't ever think it's not While the whole world is crazy We're making out in the parking lot We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game We keep changing all the time The best ones lost their minds So I'm not gonna change, I'll stay the same No rose left on the vines Don't even want what's mine, much less the fame It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just a game It's dark, but just-

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end There's a, Room full of trouble and there's lovers to be had Those ones who make sinners out of such lovely lads Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze And the anomaly is slipping to familiar ways And we're forever unfulfilled Can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes Forever unfulfilled And can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes The more you open your mouth The more you're forcing performance And all the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious) Now that we're here, we may as well go too far Wriggling around and it's so that you won't forget There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect Aimlessly gazing at the faces in the queue Struggling with the notion that it's life not film This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end
