10-9-8

I'll be your loaded dice

You're holding all the cards

You set the tone whenever I'm with you

You make up all the rules

In this game of fools



I see your signals change

They go from green to red

It's always stop & go when the colors are changing

Never let on, never let on

Look to the left, look to the right

Why can't you look me straight in the eye?



CHORUS

10-9-8

I'm always countin down

You feel the pressure when you're under the gun

6-5-4

I'm always countin down

Isn't it funny, I never get to 1



I'll be your only chance

I play the only role

I go the distance whenever I'm with you

You make up all the rules

In this game of fools

Can you hear me in the dark

I'm walkin on the wire

I'm on the edge, it's always my time for fallin

Never let on, never let on

Look to the left, look to the right

Why can't you look me straight in the eye?



CHORUS



[bridge]



Never let on

Never let on

Never let on



Never let on

Never let on

Never let on
