Points and Authority lyrics

[Chorus:]

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.

[1st Verse:]

You love the way I look at you

while taking pleasure

in the awful things you put me through.

You take away

if I give in.

My life, my pride is broken.

[Chorus:]

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.

[2nd Verse:]

I won't believe a word you say.

I'm cut to pieces by the sound

of every breath you take.

So mean to love

or see of her.

My life, my pride gets stronger.

[Chorus:]

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.

[Bridge:]

It's time to sink or swim.

It's time to sink or swim.

It's time to sink or swim

to see who gets scared when the lights go dim.

(No !)

It's time to sink or swim

(No !)

to see who gets scared when the lights go dim.

(No !)

It's time to sink or swim

(No !)

to see who gets scared when the lights go dim.

[Chorus:]

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.

Forfeit the game

before somebody else

takes you out of the frame

and puts your name to shame.

Cover up your face,

you can't run the race.

The pace is too fast.

You just won't last.
