I 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. |
|
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 painful world is a place where I can go |
|
Oh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show? |
|
And take your babies to your breast |
|
No, we never passed the test |
|
And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on |
|
CHORUS: |
|
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 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. |
|
But did we get so very far? |
|
It's different, me not being a star." |
|
I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away |
|
CHORUS 2 times. |
