Pledge Pin

Watch them go

'Cause one by one they rise to fall

Hearts in tow

It's just a game, she's only having fun

She laughs and turns away

Surprised, she mocks it's all the same

Tonight's the loss, tomorrow's gain

And in the end, it's so

Oh

Stand in line

As one by one they march in time

In the wings

I stand and watch these foolish things go by

Just prepare for the play

Aloof she moves

The confidant with practiced step

Merry dance, she executes her role, role

As the cavalcade begins to thin

Do you stop and look around?

Free to choose but not to win

You're just too late, your show is at an end

Now you're the victim of your game

Through your fingers, watch them slip

Familiar rules just hit and miss

For the one who never shows
