A hackneyed character study, but some "old saws" still cut.

lyrics

-<No Skin in the Game>-

You got no time,
'cause you’re heading for an early grave.
You’d try to run,
but you can’t decide what to save.
You got no lines
but you’re the hero in your tragic show,
You're goin’ down,
so just hurry up and let it go.

You got no skin in the game,
’n’ you’re lookin’ for someone to blame.

[Les Paul solo]

You got no Time;
you’re just a queen on a borrowed throne.
Nowhere to run--
ain’t it funny when you’re all alone?
You're goin’ down;
you’re still headin’ for an early grave.
Ride the line;
you’re just floatin’ on a crashing wave.

You got no skin in the game,
'cause you’re playin' with a different name.

[Strat solo]

Here's the Belle of the Ball
She's the Queen of them all
She's the Queen of the Fall

You got no time;
you’re still waitin’ on the early grave.
You’d try to run;
but there’s nothin' left for you to save.
You're goin’ down,
but no one told you where to go.
Find the line;
it’s the closeup for your picture show.

You got no skin in the game,
but your mother love’s you just the same.

You're outta time.
No time to run;
You're goin' down.
No time to run.

You got no skin in the game,
’n’ you’re lookin’ for someone to blame.
