The Great Puzzle - Jules Shear
												
Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too
many suns
												
So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we're not the only
ones
										
Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound
											
Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it's run
aground
									
And I'm thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we're not thinking
at all
								
I've got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be
solved
CHORUS:
								            					
Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths,  Like all the questions
that it does no good to ask
						      							
Some might accept it, some might complain,  It's a great puzzle, but you've
gotta like games

										
Like a candle that's been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke
										
>From a chance turned to missed opportunity, my latest enemy of hope
											
A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it's real
									
But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels
									
And I'm thinking aloud too much, giving too much up,  I can't wait to see the
world as it is
									
And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny
detail I miss
CHORUS
ADD:
							
You've gotta like games, and working them through
												
Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you

													
I've met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they
think they've figured it out
	
Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can't be hurt by any storm,
	
And they think they know what life is about

									        				
But it's a maze where you could take a thousand paths  It's all the questions
that it does no good to ask
					
Some might reject it, some go insane
					       		           	
It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games,  It's a great puzzle, but
                    	CGCG
 you've gotta like games
