Slow Game - Thinkman

I meet people I’ve only seen in dreams

they make me happy -- then sad

do you know what this means

I go to places that I recognize

but the time’s never tight

she says that it’s all lies

I have adventures that don’t compute

I talk to friends and leave their homes

in such disrepute

saying everything has a cause

everything has a root and I’m gathering proof

And I want to know what’s happening in my life

I need some explanation

could there be a joker in this slow game

playing for what’s mine

cheating all the time --

If you are the joker in this slow game

well, who do you want to win?

I meet people I’ve only seen in dreams

they make me happy -- then sad

do you know what this means

I go to places that I recognize

but the time’s never tight

she says that it’s all lies

I have adventures that don’t compute

I talk to friends and leave their homes

in such disrepute

saying everything has a cause

everything has a root and I’m gathering proof

And I want to know what’s happening in my life

I need some explanation

could there be a joker in this slow game

playing for what’s mine

cheating all the time --

If you are the joker in this slow game

well, who do you want to win?

And I want to know what’s happening in my life

I need some explanation

could there be a joker in this slow game

playing for what’s mine

cheating all the time --

and if you are the joker in this slow game

who’s controlling who --

Everything has a cause

everything has a root

a slow game

I have adventures that don’t compute

and I will kick the machine

while I’m gathering proof

saying everything has a cause

saying everything has a root --
