i wanted to love someone
anyone ("in that case...")
i'd love any of the people ("you have me.") going to and fro ("let's play!")
in this crowded and stuffy town ("i said let's play! i'm here, but i'm going to run away!")
ah, games of despair
if i take that finger
who will be "it"
and who will be the one to run away?
who gets to decide
on who does what?
it's hide-and-seek
or tag
if you're "it"
then you're not human
you are free ("you have me.") to love ("let's play!")
any of the people going to and fro ("i said let's play! i'll be gone before you know it... come on and catch me!")
ah, if i take the finger
that was thrusted out at me
who will be "it"
and who will be the one to run away?
who was the one
to decide that?
i wanted to love someone
anyone ("in that case...") i got someone pictured in my mind ("you have me.")
but i can't make out who ("let's play!") for certain ("i said let's play! i'm here,
but i'm going to run away, so come on and catch me! hurry!)
ah, games of despair
if i take that finger
who will be "it"
and who will be the one to run away?
who is "it"?
what is human?
who was the one
to draw that distinction?
who the hell does he think he is?
was it me?
it's hide-and-seek
or tag
when the sun goes down
it's a game of shadow-stepping
