A Slow Game Lyrics

Thinkman A Slow Game

-----------
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 --
