lyrics

Well, I’m lining them up and knocking them down.
One by one, one by one
And, I’ll go all night till I find the one, that can last 'till the last round.
And, oh it can be a dangerous game
Throwing knives and juggling fire
Yeah, ooh it can be a dangerous game
Links of chain and barbed wire

Now, that one looks like he’s good and strong,
It might stand out from the lot
But, I’ve found the strong ones tend to step up first,
But then, they shatter at the first hard shot
But, oh it can be a dazzling game
Broken bottles. blood and nerves
Yeah ooh, it can be a dazzling game
For a while...For what that’s worth

Oh, the best or the brightest shine like stars
But, that aint what’s required
No, it’s the deep mean glow of an old gray coal
That’s not afraid to start a fire
'Cause I might have to burn this whole place down
Jump from the roof with no plan for landing
The only thing I know for sure is
I’m leaving here with the last dream standing
Yeah, I’m leaving here with the last dream standing

Yeah, I’m lining them up and knocking them down.
One by one, one by one
Just wrestling dreams ‘cause there comes a time
It must be done it must be done
And, I might have to burn this whole place down
Jump from the roof without any plan for landing
The only thing I know one thing for sure is
I'm leaving here with the last dream standing
Yeah, I’m leaving here with the last dream standing
