  • "It's dark but just a game"
    That's what he would say to me
    The faces aren't the same
    But their stories all end tragically

    Sweet, what-whatever, baby
    And that's the price of fame
    A tale as old as time, you'd be
    Sweet, what-whatever, baby
    A pretty little fool
    To think exceptions to the rule
    Just walk around
    Like you and me this way

    But life is sweet, what-whatever, baby
    You gotta take them for what they've got
    And while the whole world is crazy
    We're getting high in the parking lot

    We keep changing all the time
    The best ones lost their minds
    So I'm not gonna change
    I'll stay the same
    No rose left on the vines
    Don't even want what's mine
    Much less the fame
    It's dark but just a game
    It's dark but just a game

    It's dark but just a game
    So play it like a symphony
    You know our love's the same
    They'll both go down in infamy

    I was a pretty little thing
    Ain't got a lot to sing, but
    Nothing came for me either one but pain
    But fuck it

    Life is sweet, what-whatever, baby
    Don't ever think it's not
    While the whole world is crazy
    We're making out in the parking lot

    We keep changing all the time
    The best ones lost their minds
    So I'm not gonna change
    I'll stay the same
    No rose left on the vines
    Don't even want what's mine
    Much less the fame
    It's dark but just a game

    We keep changing all the time
    The best ones lost their minds
    So I'm not gonna change
    I'll stay the same
    No rose left on the vines
    Don't even want what's mine
    Much less the fame
    It's dark but just a game
    It's dark but just a game
