My lonely doll, she came again
Frozen wall like teenage skin
And neither for what comes within
A substance cloud like sinking sin

You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
[repeat]

Every time

(It's such a shame)

You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says

You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said

Still smell of fear, she came again
A frozen wall like teenage skin
She'll break my fall, begin my friend
Small substance cloud like sinking sin

You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way

It's such a shame
It's such a shame

    General Comment:not to be bizarre or anything, but does anyone else get a sexual undertone in this song? "frozen wall / like teenage skin" makes me think of the hymen ... but maybe that's just me. regardless, this is a beautiful song. bt = love

    General Comment:this song is great...it's one of those songs that just effects you and makes you want to cry but you don't know what it is that's making you feel that way.

    General Comment:I don't know what it means either....it seems that maybe he's talking about a woman in his life who complains about her life not going anywhere and everything just keeps repeating itself. But like I said before, I really don't know.
