lyrics

You call yourself the player
such a funny kind of name
for rule maker and breaker in a solo game.
Does it make you happy fooling everybody?
has your life been such a shame?
or were you treated the same?
are you sharing the pain you feel?

I know you think you're the only one
I hate to break it, everybody knows somebody like you
though you feel your the king up on the hill
you'll take a tumble and nobody's gonna break your fall.

I've played both parts a plenty
been both the lover and the crook
but the outcomes just the same
jealousy and shame.

I know you think you're the only one
I hate to break it, everybody knows somebody like you
though you feel your the king up on the hill
you'll take a tumble and nobody's gonna break your fall.

Look around
climb down off that big old steed of yours
touch the ground
this is where we all are living
lose your crown
before the golden thorns start piercing much deeper than skin
cutting in to your ghost.

I know you think you're the only one
I hate to break it, everybody knows somebody like you
though you feel your the king up on the hill
you'll take a tumble and nobody's gonna break your fall.
I know you think you're the only one
I hate to break it, everybody knows somebody like you
though you feel your the king up on the hill
you'll take a tumble and nobody's gonna break your fall.
