Chess (Live in Moscow)

Multiply distance by time Flashbacks as you haunt my mind You burn as bright as the bridges That light up my way Was my life ever my own? Heart beating louder than your metronome I won’t stop thinking big In the world where I feel so small. But the taste goes straight to my head Out of the deathbed, like a jet My autumn turns to spring / My whisper turns to scream Where does the circle begin? (Does the circle begin?) We’re probably making a mess / To hell with it - let’s make a mess! Playing this reckless game of chess. Losing my place, I find / my mind It makes me feel alive. There’s nothing you can do to change me So take me as I am It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t because you can. Let’s open the floodgates and start a war Though the chance of survival is slim We’re the aliens taking over the board It’s the only way to the top, The only way to the top It’s the loneliest way to the top...
