Pledge Pin

Watch them go 'cause one by one they rise to fall

Hearts in tow, it's just a game, she's only having fun

She laughs and turns away surprised

She mocks it all the same

Tonight's the loss, tomorrow's gain and in the end it's so

Stand in line as one by one they march in time

In the wings I stand and watch these foolish things go by

Just preparing for the play, aloof she moves

The confidante, with practiced step

The merry dance, she executes her role

As the cavalcade begins to thin, do you stop and look around

Free to choose but not to win, you're just too late

Your show is at an end, now you're the victim of your game

Through your fingers watch them slip

Familiar rules just hit and miss for the one who never shows
