Album: MAGIC HOTEL (2002)





When all the boats had left the shore

A thousand people, maybe more

As the sun burnt through their eyes

You could sense their deep surprise

And I guess one would assume

That we're playing different tunes



No one realised what was wrong

It was all lost in a song

And the people stopped to cry

A sea of tears flowed from their eyes

And then everybody says

But they always say to late



It's such a shame, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games, it's such a shame

There is no gain, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games



History passed me by at school

But I, by no means play the fool

The past and present melt to one

But the future now has gone

And I guess one would assume

That there's nothing left to lose



No more science left to bend

The world was flat we reached the end

The other side now maybe nice

Now's your turn to roll the dice



And then everybody's still

But I can't help but feel



It's such a shame, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games, it's such a shame

There is no gain, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games



Don't you even see that we don't

Want to play this game no more?

Send a satellite to rescue us alone

Alone once more



It's such a shame, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games, it's such a shame

There is no gain, we all feel the pain

Of stupid games
