Susanna Hoffs - Name of the Game
Susanna Hoffs - Name of the Game
I 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
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-awaited mother
Is it time to make a show?
And take your babies to your breast
You know we never passed the test
And 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
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
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
