If you play these games you win tough prizes
They’re the kind the world despises
This is how it’s gonna be
Everyone can finally see
Through your disguises
No more surprises
When time was slow, you were a part of me
And now we know, you never gave a damn for free
Ooo, bad luck baby
Secrets are the talk of the town
Ooo, so sad baby
Disguises keep on letting you down
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Behind your mask
You think the world’s asleep
And ugliness, is finally so clear to me
Ooo, bad luck baby
I’m through with you putting me down
Ooo, so sad baby
Disguises can’t save you now
Yeah, yeah, yeah..
Ooo, bad luck baby
Secrets are the talk of the town
Ooo, so sad baby
Disguises keep on letting you down
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah eh aye-yeah!
