You know I lose,
you know I win
You know I call for

the shape I'm in.
It's just a game you
see me play,

Only real in the way
That I feel
from day to day.


Although the answer
is not unknown,

I'm searchin', searchin',
and how I've grown.
It's not all right

to say goodbye,
And the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.


No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing.

It's only real in the way
That I feel from day to day.
No, the world on a string

Doesn't mean a thing.
