Checkmate
I believe the game is over
I cannot hold you anymore
It's the last ditch, the eleventh hour
I can't take things as they are
You're like a dead weight I be
lieve I couldn't lose now
Your stride of faith I scatter on the wind
Now you may say I'm a lazy boy
But I don't think that it's so
I need something more
I need something more
I need something more than this
Yeah, dying
It leaves you filled with understanding
Dogma, baby,
like a cheap champagne
Cinnamon, the smell of a rose
Can change your world in
ways that nobody knows
I hear voices on the highway
You see the trains of
Telegraph
Road
In the summer sun, like molten gold
It's flowing like lava from the sky
And I need something more
I need something more
I need something more than this
I need another look
I need the rain
I need to wash away my pain
I need a good laugh, I need a friend
I need to start up my engine again
And what's your name?
That is what should I call you?
Now that we've turned so many times
And how should I think of you when
madness has no end?
Belly up, floating on the wall I feel
lucky to have drowned
Pale skin, wet lips
Now don't you make a sound
I need something more, I need something more,
I need something more than this
I need another look, I need the rain,
I needed to wash away my pain
I need a good laugh, I need a friend I need
to start up my engine again
Checkmate, I believe the game is over
I cannot hold you anymore
It's the last ditch,
the eleventh hour I can't take things as they are
