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 protests 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 awaited mother, is it time to make a show And take your babies to your breast, you know we never pass the test And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on Oh don't refuse me, if you choose me you follow my shape No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the day 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've burned a 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 they go away Oh don't refuse me, if you choose me you follow my shape No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the day of the game Oh don't refuse me, if you choose me you follow my shape No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the day of the game *
