  • If you want to
    I'll make you feel something real just to bother you
    Now I got you
    Under my thumb, like a drug, I will smother you
    I'll be the one
    Be the moon, be the sun
    Be the rain in your song
    Put that record on
    If you want to
    I'll be the one
    Be the tongue that will swallow you

    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame

    Another splinter under the skin
    Another season of loneliness
    I found a reason and buried it
    Beneath a mountain of emptiness
    Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame

    Who? What? Where? When? (Shame, shame)
    Just move along, nothing wrong (shame)
    'Til we meet again (shame)
    I'll be the end (shame, shame)
    I'll be the war at your door (shame)
    Come and let me in (shame)
    I'll be the one (shame)
    Be the moon, be the sun (shame)
    Be the rain in your song (shame)
    Put that record on (shame)
    If you want to (shame, shame)
    I'll be the one (shame)
    Be the tongue that will swallow you (shame)

    Another splinter under the skin
    Another season of loneliness
    I found a reason and buried it
    Beneath a mountain of emptiness
    Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame

    Another splinter under the skin
    Another season of loneliness
    I found a reason and buried it
    Beneath a mountain of emptiness
    Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
    Shame, shame
