Pat Benatar had it right

We're sitting

on opposite ends of this

chess board

darling

I'm the Dark Glass

King

You the Light Glass

Queen

Staring

Daring

The other to make

The first move

I'm afraid I move

to slowly

one square at a time

and you move anywhere

but forward

everyone's gone

now baby

everyone's left the table

no one to help us

ease this war

this love

and I

I am

staying

alive against all odds

for one chance to make you mine
