Taxxi – Players Lyrics

An adrenaline rush as you face the old crowd
Wonder how long they'll stick around
Late night players pace up and down
Hoping to see through the gap in your gown

Mumbling from tables surrounding the stage
Smacking their lips, you're their center page
Don't know 'em by name but recognize their faces
You've seen them before in some similar places

And the players play the game
And the players play the game
And the players play the game
Play the game

Look at the players shuffle their decks
Open-mouthed, staring, straining their necks
Listen to the players rattle the dice
Hope to win enough to cover your price

And the players play the game
And the players play the game
And the players play the game
Play the game

Stagelight slices through nicotine air
As you stand by the curtain, it sticks to your hair
Fifty-cent earrings hanging from your ears
Mascara mapping the tracks of your tears

And the players play the game
And the players play the game
And the players play the game
Play the game

And the players play the game
And the players play the game
And the players play the game
I said the players play the game
