It was fire that I played with
And the coals were hot and red
But I jumped into the core
where angels would not tread
and let the devil count the cost
for the only game I ever played
was the only game I ever lost
The flames licked my skin
as I danced upon the pyre
like a moth I could not resist
being drawn into the fire
The scorching heat was half the fun
and the only game I ever played
was the only game I never won
