Spectators line the avenue The players step out right on cue And every night just seems the same Nameless faces play their game The midnight gamblers place their bets The tight-rope walkers check their nets Then comes the queen of broken hearts This is the way it always starts Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town All hail the third string debutante She tries to act so nonchalant Chasin' the prince of alibis Into a smokescreen made of lies Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town My window looks down on the set Each night the players strut and fret So if you'd like to join the rest Just choose the part that suits you best Finders find love for the evening Keepers keep the love they've found Losers lose and wind up weeping But it's the only game in town
