Lyrics Such a Shame - The Chain Gang of 1974

The heat was on but you were cold
Went against what you were sold
Standing by your love so old
Afraid if anything was told
I said "Your home is in your heart"
You slowly moved our hands apart
I kissed the standard and walked out

Then I watched you drive away
Take with you that smile away
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Wasted all this time, such a shame

A memory of ocean light all mixed up on bitter wine
My shadow laughs at lack of spine
I can't believe my eyes

So then I drop out, I'm spinning around
With colored pills that pull the feel away
I tippy toe as I walk alone on a dream
But I'm awoken by what games were played

Then I watched you drive away
Take with you that smile away
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Wasted all this time, such a shame

I saw you, did you see me?
I'm still lost on my way
Eighteen flowers and I'm back again
Eighteen flowers and I'm back again

Then I watched you drive away
Take with you that smile away
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Wasted all this time, such a shame
