i'm watching the sky as it starts to go dark
and i hear a hush falling over the park
i don't know what changes a decade can bring
but i know an eclipse can mean only one thing

oooooooooh

it's just a game and these are just sounds
but it's hard when the umpires are staring us down
every day is the same it just goes round and round
but how can i think when the thoughts are so loud

we are all love this game that we've found
but how can we play
when the sun has gone out

oooooooooh

we just keep on, keep on, keep on running
we just keep on, keep on, keep on fighting
we just keep on, keep on, keep on loving
when the world is wrong you've still gotta keep on
we just keep on, keep on, keep on winning
we just keep on, keep on, keep on swinging
we just keep on, keep on, keep on living
i know it feels wrong but you've gotta keep on

oooooooooh

i know that the gods don't respond to petitions
but we do our jobs in the worst of conditions
the moon hides the sun and we all hold our breath
and we pitch and we bat and we stare into death

i'm tired of wondering how i can manage
if my life's just acceptable collateral damage
don't want to be forgotten, don't want to forgive
is it so bad that i just want to live?

we are all love this game that we've found
but how can we play
when the sun has gone out
