Name Of The Game (Remastered 2010)

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

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 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

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

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

Lock my feelings in a jar

Until we go away"

Oh, don't refuse me

If you choose me

You'll follow my shame

Oh, don't refuse me

If you choose me

You'll follow my shame
