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.
