Two By Two

It's like I'm watching a film
At one point
The man is frankly insane
He's raging out of control
And the problem
Is never solved without pain

Up there the actor is strapped
To the same role
That he's played time and again
The story it over the film just continues
For all he wants it to end
That he wants it to end

Life goes on inside
Through the fall the pride

(Two by two)
If you pull the plug you lose the static
(Two by two)
But the game goes on with or without you
(Two by two)
It's so simple, it's so mathematic
(Two by two)
Leaves one

I've seen this feature before
From the front row
So close it feels like I'm there
I've sat through scene after scene
Of this side show
Like someone strapped to a chair

I hear myself through the storm
And I wonder
How I can stop what I say
My eyes are lightening
My voice is like thunder
But then it's so far away
And then it's so far away

Life goes on inside
Through the fall the pride

(Two by two)
If you pull the plug you lose the static
(Two by two)
But the game goes on with or without you
(Two by two)
It's so simple, it's so mathematic
(Two by two)
Leaves one

(Two by two)
If you pull the plug you lose the static
(Two by two)
But the game goes on with or without you
(Two by two)
It's so basic, it's so mathematic

Your cigarette, the final set, we start, the cameras rolling
I'm pulling stone from the ground
That I walk on
I'm pouring gas on the flame
The credits roll and the man
Who would be king
Is left a pauper again
Is left a pauper again

(Two by two)
If you pull the plug you lose the static
(Two by two)
But the game goes on with, or without you
(Two by two)
It's so basic, it's so mathematic
(Two by two)
But the game goes on and on
(Two by two)
(Two by two) two by two
Oh, (two by two) two by two
(Two by two) two by two
By two, by two, by two
