Method To My Madness

I’ve played the game,
still it’s not worth it,
like a woman in the rain,
I close my eyes,
I’m on the shelf,
I know myself.

I’ve seen the lights of every city.
Tried to work out where I am.
I close my mind for the day
I know the way.

I’ve played the game,
still it’s not worth it,
like a woman in the rain,
so I close my eyes,
I’m on the shelf,
I know myself.

There’s never ever anybody to rely on.
There isn’t time to count the shoulders I have cried on.

That’s just circumstances,
I must take my chances.

But, baby, you don’t know what I’m saying.
But I guess that’s not true
and you know that’s true,
but there’s a method to my madness.

I’ve played the game,
still it’s not worth it,
like a woman in the rain,
so I close my eyes for the day,
I know the way.
