Saw the railway master
I looked him in the eye
I said, "Would you go much faster
If you thought that you would die?"
He said, "No, not me sir I could not care
In fact I would not try
But protest would not take me far
It's different me not being a star"
I lock my feelings in a jar until another day
Oh, comfort me dear brother
Won't you tell me what you know?
For somewhere in this paper world
Is a place where I can go
Oh, long awaiting mother
Is it time to make it show?
And take your babies to your breast
You know we never passed the test
All our sins should be confessed before we carry on
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me, you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
I got up off my pillow
I looked up at the sun
I said, "You can see quite clearly now
Things that we have done"
We burned your sacred willow
Battles we have won
But did we get so very far?
It's different me not being a star
Lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
Oh, don't refuse me
If you choose me you'll follow my shame
No, don't confuse me
For I know it's the name of the game
