LYRICS:
Every time that I fall for that same old trick
I punish myself with the same old stick
I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself
Forgetting reality
Ignoring the fact that you're altogether someplace else
Forgetting reality
But I swear here and now
The truth shall be mine
And surrender to my prayer
The weapon is time
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win this game my friend
And forget you in the end
Your memory seems like a living thing
I never know if I'm imagining
I look at your face and I know that's impossible
Forgetting it's just a dream
Now I'm hearing your voice saying anything is possible
Forgetting it's just a dream
And I still can't say why
You keep invading my mind
But this uncontrolled fixation
Grows weaker with time
A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me
A trickle of love still flows between you and me
But we live in different galaxies
But I swear here and now
Your heart will be mine
You'll surrender to my love
My weapon is time
And your wall of resistance
I will slowly undermine
While your uncontrolled fixation
Grows stronger with time
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
I'll play your waiting game
I'm gonna win this game my friend
And I'll be with you in the end
I'll play, yes I will

Can you imagine dreaming a song like this, waking up and going to the studio in order to record as soon as possible a first demo of it ? Well, that's actually what Todd Rundgren had to do so we could now listen to this masterpiece...
One of the greatest songs ever!
Todd’s ultimate pop song🎵
Another unbelievable gem from him
This is such an amazing song - one of my three favorites on this album.
Simultaneously mind-blowing in its complexity and irresistibly listenable- in other words, a Todd Rundgren song!

Please make another analysis on Todd's compositions, your past videos on him were excellent
One of the best songs he ever did 😮
Whenever I hear this masterpiece, or any cut from NEARLY HUMAN, I flash back to that Saturday night in '88, when 98.5, WNCX Cleveland, played the entire album. The next day, I went out in a driving NorthCoast thunderstorm, going from store to store to store, until I found it on cassette at a paperback exchange. This album brought me back sixteen years, to when I first heard Todd, and was mesmerized by his artistry.
Go get em todd , another great album from todd, got it when it came out , still play it ..like now... and now ,back to the bars
Another in a long line of dynamic pop/prog songs . NICE !
A virtually perfect song, in it's composition, arrangement and performance. catchy, emotive and endlessly interesting.
Carefully arranged. My lady friend lost it for this song in St. Louis '91...
最高❤このアルバムとトッドラングレンに出逢えてしあわせ❤
