Lyrics for World on a String

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.
