Shame

[Intro]

It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame

[Verse 1]

Wherever you go, I'll go with ya, and

Whatever you smoke, I'll smoke with ya

Whenever you pose, I will take your picture

Even though I just wish I was in it, just have something to remember

We lit our cigarettes with studied thoughtfulness, and

Dreamed of high consciousness but really wanted the opposite, and

Who unscrewed the bottle and poured booze onto the flame?

Who gives a damn about all the consequence?

I just wanted to know your name

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a shame (It's a shame)

But all in love is fair, and

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's pain we have to bear

And it's a shame (It's a shame)

When you got no one left to blame and you say

"Don't go," But they're already there

[Chorus]

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's just a shame (It's a shame, it's a shame)

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's just a shame (It's a shame, it's a shame)

It's a crying shame

[Verse 2]

Whatever you pay, I'll pay for ya, and I

Wherever you lay, I'll lay on ya, and I

Whatever you sang, I will do the octave

Even though you don't care much for harmonies

I just wanted to give you the option

We drink and we womanize, we

Fuck and we fetishize, we

Get clean and testify, we

Relapse and we justify, but

There's so many to eulogize when no one recalls the prayer

And I guess some love, it just crystallizes while some stays in the air

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's a shame (It's a shame)

We just can't get along, and

It's a shame (It's a shame)

When things just turn out wrong

And it's a shame (It's a shame)

When you've got nothing left to say

And so you put it in a song but you only wanted to explain that

[Chorus]

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's just a shame (It's a shame)

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's just a shame (It's a shame)

It's a crying shame

It's a shame (It's a shame)

Oh, it's a shame (It's a shame, it's a shame)

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's a shame (It's a shame)

It's a crying shame
