Weird scenes are coming through The airwaves from a flickering tube An old film with an older theme And those actors could be us But the ending is good so I'm thinking "There's the rub"
Later when we meet It's emotion going through the motions A kick to break up or a kiss to make up But then there'll be another scene Like the one yesterday
When we say hello, we mean goodbye Feigning paradise, wanting to cry Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say Is part of the game we play
So we're into action on cue And go spinning like a reel Summing up this relationship And the way I feel
I think maybe we should go on out Into the moonlight, out of the spotlight And examine where we are and where we've been to Where we're going is down without a happy ending
When we say hello we mean goodbye Feigning paradise, wanting to cry Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say Is part of the game we play
