The Big Game Songtext
von Olive Klug

There′s a bible on the floor
There's an empty vodka bottle in my underwear drawer
Chin up child oh what a life you have ahead
That′s what they're all saying if I could only find my head

Is it missing, is it hiding, was it ever there?
Has its power been obstructed by pretending not to care?
I don't know but I′m anxious and I know that I′m not ready
But I don't know how much longer I can wait


Chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
90 years of living, you might never feel complete
But the search is on and I′m not too strong
And the weather will weather my thin skin
And I'll live for tomorrow, I′ll live for you
I'll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
My laughter will be tainted with sin
Because contrary to what they tell you to do
I′ll never be playing this game to win

I'm a waking bridge-burner
The soles of my shoes they are laced with kerosene
Endings don't always breed possibilities
I′m sure I′ll learn it one day, but for now just let me be

Now I'm alone and I′m anxious and I know that I'm not ready
But I don′t know how much longer I can wait

Oh chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
90 years of living, you might never feel complete
But the search is on and I'm getting strong
I won′t let the weather weather my thin skin
And I'll live for tomorrow, I'll live for you
I′ll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
And my laughter will be tainted with sin
Because contrary to what they tell you to do
I′ll never be playing this game to win
Oh I'll never be playing this game to win
