A moth to a flame, that's the way that it plays
Since the world began
A queen on a throne or the emperor of Rome
With a sleight of hand
And so it begins, both in virtue and sin
There's no wrong or right
Red chasing blue, painting blood on the moon
On a summer night
The name of the game's still the same
Win or lose, either up or down
Play, baby, play one more game
Won't you stay for another round?
Dress up to pretend, the charade never ends
Here we go again
In the name of the game, there's no shame
There's no blame when you play to win
Steal a dance
Leap of faith
Take a chance while you're waiting
Roll the dice
Paradise, once or twice
Are you playing?
Stakes are high
Double down one more time
For a heartache
When you play the game
Steal a dance
Leap of faith
Take a chance while you're waiting
Roll the dice
Paradise, once or twice
Are you playing?
Stakes are high
Double down one more time
For a heartache
When you play the game
The name of the game's still the same
Win or lose, either up or down
Play, baby, play one more game
Won't you stay for another round?
Dress up to pretend, the charade never ends
Here we go again
In the name of the game, there's no shame
There's no blame when you play to win
The name of the game's still the same
Win or lose, either up or down
Play, baby, play one more game
Won't you stay for another round?
Dress up to pretend, the charade never ends
Here we go again
In the name of the game, there's no shame
There's no blame when you play to win
