Mind Cage

[00:00.11] The time runs out - hold on a sec, wait
[00:02.98] That chessman's nothing
[00:04.00] But a heck of a bait
[00:05.35] The master plan's a total wreck, mate
[00:07.75] Check, mate: checkmate
[00:09.95] The liner's going and we're on deck, great
[00:12.45] We're two pretenders neck and neck, straight
[00:14.88] If you want troubles take a peck, mate
[00:16.42] Check, mate: checkmate
[00:19.32] My life's become a mount of dreck, mate
[00:21.93] The headsman's axe is on my neck, fate
[00:24.38] You don't believe me - won't you check, mate
[00:26.93] Check, mate: checkmate
[00:29.20] Watch out, I'm breathing down your neck, late
[00:31.62] The drawing's clear but there's a fleck: ate
[00:34.13] I'll win the bet, you'll pay the cheque, mate
[00:36.59] Check, mate: checkmate
[00:38.87] It's just a simple play
[00:41.05] And no more than a game
[00:43.49] It seems you fret, I say
[00:45.93] You're shaking - what a shame
[00:48.37] Try not to worry, dear
[00:50.76] I saw your mental brawn
[00:53.25] There is no space for fear
[00:55.63] So move on-board your pawn
[00:58.15] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:00.54] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:02.80] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:05.26] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:07.57] The time runs out - hold on a sec, wait
[01:10.31] That chessman's nothing
[01:12.08] But a heck of a bait
[01:12.65] The master plan's a total wreck, mate
[01:15.01] Check, mate: checkmate
[01:17.23] The liner's going and we're on deck, great
[01:19.61] We're two pretenders neck and neck, straight
[01:22.07] If you want troubles take a peck, mate
[01:24.49] Check, mate: checkmate
[01:26.79] Your move is useless now
[01:29.29] If siege is all around
[01:31.52] The king's a clown: see how
[01:34.03] The rooks have fallen down
[01:36.58] Try not to worry, dear
[01:38.85] I saw your mental brawn
[01:41.34] There is no space for fear
[01:43.60] So move on-board your pawn
[01:46.19] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:48.42] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:50.88] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:53.25] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:55.72] Checkmate, checkmate
[01:58.11] Checkmate, checkmate
[02:00.52] Checkmate, checkmate
[02:02.99] Checkmate, checkmate
[02:14.97] What does all this matter for
[02:17.35] He has never lost before
[02:19.64] The previous match they drew
[02:22.01] He's losing, you see it too
[02:24.46] He has moved the queen for fun
[02:26.80] The winner will be one!
[02:29.28] The play's a mess to fix
[02:31.67] In front of all these hicks
[02:34.08] The tension seems to deaden
[02:36.25] One left for sure his heaven
[02:38.79] The other moves - he'll tell, then
[02:41.12] This game is little more than hell
[02:53.35] It's just a simple play
[02:55.66] And no more than a game
[02:58.01] It seems you fret, I say
[03:00.35] You're shaking - what a shame
[03:02.85] Try not to worry, dear
[03:05.23] I saw your mental brawn
[03:07.68] There is no space for fear
[03:09.94] So move on-board your pawn
[03:12.59] It's just a simple play
[03:14.82] And no more than a game
[03:17.14] It seems you fret, I say
[03:19.48] You're shaking - what a shame
[03:22.05] Try not to worry, dear
[03:24.43] I saw your mental brawn
[03:26.83] There is no space for fear
