"Anyone's Game" lyrics

"Anyone's Game"

Anybody born knows how to play this little game
First they light a candle in themselves
They lean it up against the wind and then they run around the rain
Anybody born plays pretty well

If they crawl into another's heart while someone counts to ten
Let's just say that's the hardest place to hide
They jump out of their fame and names until the game begins again
They open one another's empty eyes

Until they rise like ashes off the ground
And fall down like diamonds off the dead
Until they go as though they're coming back
And take their time like it's all they're gonna get

Anybody born knows how to play this little game
No one can be born too many times
First they kiss their lucky dice, then they dig themselves a grave
They do this until it's killing them to try

To rise like ashes off the ground
And fall down like diamonds off the dead
To go as though they're coming back
And take their time like it's all they're gonna get

To rise like ashes off the ground
And fall down like diamonds off the dead

Let's just say that the clues are few and the last one in's an egg
They bend the map or just turn around
If their life gets in the way
Let's just say, let's just say
That their life gets in the way
Let's just say, let's just say, let's just say
Let's just say, let's just say
