Lyrics Strange Game - From The ATV+ Original Series "Slow Horses” - Mick Jagger

Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers
Hanging by your fingernails
You made one mistake, you got burned at the stake
You're finished, you're foolish, you failed

There's always a hope on this slippery slope
Somewhere a ghost of a chance
To get back in that game and burn off your shame
And dance with the big boys again

It's a strange, strange game
Strange, strange game
Such a shame, shame, shame
Yes, a strange game

You got to carry the blame
In this strange game
You're out on a limb and you're trying to get in
It's a strange game

You piled up the corpses, exhausted your sources
Livin' right under a cloud
The odds are against you, the gods haven't blessed you
You better get back on the rails

Drill down on the data, keep pushing the paper
The damps dripping down on the walls
It's a million to one, there's a place in the sun
To dance with the big boys again

It's a strange, strange game
Strange, oh, so strange
You don't even know my real name
Yes, a strange game

You got to carry the blame
In this strange, strange game
You're out on a limb, tryin' hard to get in
It's a strange game
