The Relentless (American Satan/Paradise City)
Cruel Game (from ”Paradise City”)
[Verse 1]
Can you believe the outcome?
Now I'm asking you God, "How come?"
Can you believe the outcome?
Now I'm asking you God, "How come?"
The things we wish to perceive aren't always what we want to believe
And now I must confess these are the thoughts that I possess

[Pre-Chorus]
You always change right behind my back
When we're face to face, I'm always the one who cracks

[Chorus]
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my housе
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd I lеt you under my blouse?
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my house
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd I let you under my blouse?

[Verse 2]
Was this mess all your creation?
Or did I just embrace temptation?
Some things just cannot be undone
Tell me now are you happy with what you've become?
[Pre-Chorus]
You always change right behind my back
When we're face to face, I'm always the one who cracks

[Chorus]
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my house
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd you let me under your blouse?
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my house
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd I let you under my blouse?

[Verse 3]
You can crucify me with blame, but only if you share in the pain
Admit it was all a cruel game
Leave my heart on the open flame
Well you can crucify me with blame but only if you share in the pain
Admit it was all a cruel game and leave my heart on the open flame
You can crucify me with blame, but only if you share in the pain
Admit it was all a cruel game
Leave my heart on the open flame

[Chorus]
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my house
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd you let me under your blouse?
If misery loves company, oh get the hell outta my house
Won't you please just look at me?
Oh, why'd I let you under my blouse?
[Outro]
Can you believe the outcome?
Now I'm asking you God, "How come?"
