Lyrics

Such a shame to believe in this game
A life on every face
And that's a change
'Til I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame (Such a shame)
Number me in haste (Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands
My faith tells me to react, I don't care
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame (Such a shame)
Number me in haste (Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame (Such a shame)
Number me in haste, it's a shame (Such a shame)
Write it across my name, it's a shame (Such a shame)
Number me in haste (Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
