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
