Name of the Game (feat. Aimee Mann)

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
