Game of Pricks Lyrics

I've waited too long to have you hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long i wonder how you keep track of me

You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me

I've entered a game of pricks with knives in the back of me
Can't play it for long, you know
Meanwhile they're attacking me

I climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come follow me down
I'll give your heart my disease

You can never be strong
You can only be free
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me
I've never asked for the truth
But you don't owe that to me

Guided by Voices does this song as well.

Good song, kind of short, but good. Vocals sound different though. I like.

Great band.

quantity is not quality! i like this version better, it's nicely done, very catchy, a great cover :)

It's short because it was originally a Guided By Voices song. Guided by Voices have songs that last an average of 1:30 early in their career. Game of Pricks is one of the longer songs on the album it's on.
