I’m an opportunity

And I knock so softly

Sometimes I get loud

When I wish everybody’d just get off me

So many players

You’d think I was a ball game

It’s every man for themselves

There are no teammates

This life gets lonely

When everybody wants something

They’ll smile up in your face

But they’ll get theirs eventually

And I hope I’m there

Surrounded by familiar faces with no name

None of them know me

Or want to share my pain

They only wish to bask in my light

Then fade away

To win my love, to them a game

To watch me live my life in vain

When all is done and the glitter fades, fades away

They’ll get theirs eventually

And I hope I’m there

I drank your poison

’Cause you told me it’s wine

Shame on you if you fooled me once

Shame on me if you fooled me twice

I didn’t know the price

You’ll get yours eventually

So what good am I to you

If I can’t be broken

You’ll get yours, yes

You’ll get yours eventually
