AMERICA - ONLY GAME IN TOWN lyrics

rate me

Spectators line the avenue

The players step out right on cue

And every night just seems the same

Nameless faces play their game

The midnight gamblers place their bets

The tight-rope walkers check their nets

Then comes the queen of broken hearts

This is the way it always starts

Finders find love for the evening

Keepers keep the love they've found

Losers lose and wind up weeping

But it's the only game in town

All hail the third string debutante

She tries to act so nonchalant

Chasin' the prince of alibis

Into a smokescreen made of lies

Finders find love for the evening

Keepers keep the love they've found

Losers lose and wind up weeping

But it's the only game in town

My window looks down on the set

Each night the players strut and fret

So if you'd like to join the rest

Just choose the part that suits you best

Finders find love for the evening

Keepers keep the love they've found

Losers lose and wind up weeping

But it's the only game in town
