Play the Game

[A man]
What you know about Chess Countess?

[Verse 1]
Every eye on the room is fixed on you
Wondering when you gonna gonna make your move
You bluff
I have seen
I have seen enough
Flicking cards as you catch, as you catch my eye
Better wink when you straighten up your tie
I know the score
I have been here before

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Further down into
The rabbit hole I go
Always ending up with junkers like you

[Chorus]
I know what you want from me
It ain't hard to see
You sit there, laughin', shufflin' women frivolously
You play me like a pack of cards
All men are the same
If you wanna play at all
Then shut your mouth and just play
Play the game

[Young Alice]
(From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole
I've been told what I must do and who I must be
But this is my dream
I'll decide where it goes from here)

[Verse 2]
Got my chips stacked high on the nape of hearts
With the betting that he's busy stealing tarts
You cheat
You will lose
You will suffer defeat
Come on boy what you got up your sleeve this time
Got a queen, or a king, or a nickel, or a dime
You got diamonds in your eyes
Is it any surprise?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Further down into
The rabbit hole I go
Spouting riddles with a gardener who is painting roses red

[Chorus] x2

Yeah

[Chorus]

[A man]
Uh, yeah
Play the game
