[Verse 1] Take the light Keep the peace Sleep tonight No release Door one opens Soft and clean Close your eyes Stay unseen [Verse 2] Hide the face Burn the receipt Plant the shade Watch the street Door two shaking Hands run cold Count the exits Do what you’re told [Chorus] You can play the game Or you can take the bend But the house always wins At the bitter end How much of yourself Do you sell to the machine Just to buy a little space In between? [Verse 3] Too much weight Iron snaps One more turn The whole thing cracks Door three locking Teeth of steel No more room No more deal [Final Chorus] You can play the game Or you can take the bend But the house always wins At the bitter end How much of yourself Do you sell to the machine Just to buy a little space In between? [Outro] Take the light Keep the peace Sleep tonight No release
