Hello, it's late
You know I've tried to stop the rain
Did you read about it?
Did you think about it?
Did you cry but nothing came?

Nothing matters again
I didn't think it'd last that long
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
And the music is too loud

It's just a game that we used to play
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
It kills me just because it can't be erased
We're married

Hello, it's late
I know we tried to win the game
Did you hear about it?
Did you dream about it?
I know you cried but nothing changed

Nothing matters again
I didn't think we'd last that long
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
And the music is too loud

It's just a game that we used to play
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
It kills me just because it can't be erased
We're married, married

But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
And the music is too loud

It's just a game that we used to play
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
It kills me just because it can't be erased
We're married, married, married, married

I believe Scott told Rolling Stone that this was left over from the Purple era until the band figured out how to make the song work. It wouldn't suprise me if the lyrics were altered to fit in with his life with Mary. In fact, I would assume they were.

"Nothing matters again..." - Flashback to "Nothing seems to matter, really" from "Black Again."

Interesting how Scott described his love life with his first ex-wife as a rollercoaster on "And So I Know" and "Sour Girl", and now, he's talking about a merry go-round. I suppose it's a euphemism about time going by too slow, and the "music" being a shouting match.

And a self-realization, holy crap, we're married. And he didn't expect "the game" - the relationship - to last. Or, perhaps, the game means mind game.

I also accept the connection about the media and how they have portrayed Scott. His fourth possession charge comes to mind, as does the domestic violence charge. Evidently, Mary lied about the latter, but it gave the media an excuse to attack Scott.
