[Verse 1] Saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye I said, Would you go much faster if you thought that you would die? He said, Not me, sir. I could not care. In fact, I would not try For protest would not take me far Its different, me not bein a star I lock my feelings in a jar until another day [Verse 2] Oh, comfort me, dear brother, wont you tell me what you know? For somewhere in this painful world is a place where I can go Oh, long awaitin mother, is it time to make a show? And take your babies to your breast No, we never passed the test All our sins should be confessed before we carry on [Chorus] Oh, dont refuse me If you choose me, youll follow my shame No, dont confuse me For I know its the name of the game [Verse 3] I got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sun I said, You can see quite clearly now the things that we have done We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won Did we get so very far? Its different, me not bein a star I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away [Chorus] Oh, dont refuse me If you choose me, youll follow my shame No, dont confuse me For I know its the name of the game Oh, dont refuse me If you choose me, youll follow my shame No, dont confuse me For I know its the name of the game
