And so I burnt the house
I stood in the street
Watch it rise, watch it rise …..
So slowly to the sky
Looking only for a door
I find a window there
Where the hot, hot rays stream in
Until I can take no more
It’s a zero sum game
Zero sum game
Keep it tight beside
And polish those marbles of truth
‘Till you can see your face
‘Till the storm runs out of rain
The violence of debt
Ah, I kick myself again
But I remember to forget
I remember to forget
It’s a zero sum game
Zero sum game
