It feels like time is running backwards Somehow it don't want to pass by But I get so nervous and afraid of what is to come And I just cannot tell you why I can hear all the words you say But I don't understand Should I have looked at your smiling face When I looked at your shivering hands It is a game of hope and glory It is a game of shame and pride It is a never ending story And it never turns out right So don't ask me, if you need good advice Maybe I could find some friendly words But my heart is cold as ice I can hear all the words you say But I don't understand Should I have looked at your smiling face When I looked at your shivering hands It is a game of hope and glory It is a game of shame and pride It is a never ending story And it never turns out right It is a game of hope and glory It is a game of shame and pride It is a never ending story And it never turns out right It could have almost turned out right It almost turned out right It could have almost turned out right
