24 Lyrics

Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'

There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong

See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh
I am the second man
Oh, oh
I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising these...

Twenty-four voices
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In twenty-four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing 'Spirit take me up in arms with You'
You're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh
I am the second man
Oh, oh
I am the second man now
Oh
I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me
Yeah

I wanna see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
And you're raising the dead in me

Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
With twenty-four parts
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
I'm not copping out
Not copping out

Game Theory was a power pop band which formed in 1982 in Sacremento, California, United States. The band's only constant member was singer and songwriter Scott Miller (vocals, guitar) who led the band through two major lineup changes before he disbanded the group in 1990.

During its career, the band released five full length albums: "Blaze of Glory" (1982), "Real Nighttime" (1985), "The Big Shot Chronicles" (1986), "Lolita Nation" (1987) and "Two Steps from the Middle Ages" (1988). A sixth, "Supercalifragile" was issued in 2017.

The band's two major lineups were its 1982-1985 lineup of Miller, Nancy Becker (keyboards, vocals), Fred Juhos (bass) and Dave Gil (drums), and its 1985-1989 lineup of Miller, Donette Thayer (guitar, vocals), Shelley LaFreniere (keyboards, vocals), Guillaume Gassuan (bass) and Gil Ray (drums). Interstitial members included Michael Irwin (drums) and Suzi Ziegler (bass). A lineup consisting of Miller, Ray (who switched to keyboards), Becker's brother Jozef (drums) and The Three O'Clock leader Michael Querico (bass) existed from 1989 to 1990 and re-recorded three older Game Theory for the band's 1990 compilation "Tinker to Evers to Chance" before disabanding. Following the band's split, Miller and Jozef Becker formed The Loud Family in 1991.

After Miller's death in 2013, it was revealed that he had plan to reunite Game Theory to record a sixth album which he tentatively titled "Supercalifragile". In 2016, friends and family of Miller orchestrated a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording of the album with most of Game Theory's former members. The album was released in August of 2017. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
