[Verse]
Power plays, they orchestrate, maneuver slick, silver tongue
Twist the rules and bend the shapes, while we stay young, spritz with rum
Chessboard moves, night and day, plotting grand, scheming plot
Every word a hidden blade, shaking hands, smile that's fake.
[Verse 2]
Cat's cradle, tangled strings, web they weave, deceit they spin
In the shadows, whisper things, silent vows, fabric thin
Gamble life atop a bluff, poker face, call the bluff
Underneath, it's smooth and rough, fragile trust, never tough.
[Chorus]
It's an elaborate game they play, sway any way, just don't betray
Keep the cards up close and tight, every move, day and night
In the city, in the light, hidden truths, out of sight
Never trust, never stray, in this game, come what may.
[Bridge]
Mirrors hide the deepest lies, painted masks, alibis
Blinding truth behind the guise, secrets shared, never wise
Clever moves on every side, trust in none, there's no guide
In this maze, we coincide, sly and slick, we all collide.
[Verse 3]
Long con spins its twisted tale, hearts for gold, souls for sale
In the labyrinth they flail, hoping truth will prevail
Every smile hides a snare, every glance laced with care
Play it smooth, never rare, step by step, if you dare.
[Chorus]
It's an elaborate game they play, sway any way, just don't betray
Keep the cards up close and tight, every move, day and night
In the city, in the light, hidden truths, out of sight
Never trust, never stray, in this game, come what may.
