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
