Lyrics
From the camera Straight to video You could give ‘em what you got Or not at all When you’re hollow You won’t even know The view from here Goes on, and on, and on, and on When everything was handed out I guess you were engaged But your machine is broken down Sure that it was working yesterday It was working yesterday Your memory's become a cage Ain’t gonna ever be the same Playtime is over now Playtime is over now So tell us What you really know ‘Cause you’re perfect for the job Or near enough All around you people come and go And these days keep dragging on, and on, and on, and on When everything was handed out I guess you were engaged But your machine is broken down Sure that it was working yesterday It was working yesterday Your memory's become a cage Ain’t gonna ever be the same It falls apart the more you think about it Now you’re left to re-engage Playtime is over now Playtime is over now Got a secret But you know that you won’t keep it Try and tell them but you know they won’t believe You’d give anything to make them understand how you’re alone Alone, alone, alone, yeah Your memory's become a cage Ain’t gonna ever be the same It falls apart the more you think about it Now you’re left to re-engage Playtime is over now (playtime is over now) Playtime is over now (playtime is over now) Playtime is over now (playtime is over now) Playtime is over now (playtime is, it's over now) From the camera (it's over now) Straight to video
