Such a shame
To believe in escape
A life on every face
But that's a change
Until I'm finally left with an 8
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
That's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react
I don't care
Maybe it's unkind 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

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 across my name it's a shame (such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
This eagerness to change

Such a shame
