And a wheel in perpetual motion
On the turn of a friendly card
Songwriters: Alan Parsons, Eric Woolfson
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows, up till now it's been hard

With no show of an outward emotion
There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
And God knows, up till now it's been hard
Oh, they think it will make their lives easier
Have prevented the fall of the unwise
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
On the turn of a friendly card
On the turn of a friendly card
No, the game never ends when your whole world depends
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
As he enters inside the cathedral
