World on a String

You know I lose, you know I win

You know I call for the shape I'm in.

It's just a game you see me play,

Only real in the way

That I feel from day to day.

Although the answer is not unknown,

I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown.

It's not all right to say goodbye,

And the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.

No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.

It's only real in the way

That I feel from day to day.

No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.
