Shame Lyrics by Empires

Garage Hymns

2012

[Verse]
Emotionless to the love of your life
Is it all you have left
Have you gone with rebels of heart?
Such a terrible place to go

[Chorus]
We were close
We were cold
We were sure to grow old
Where did you go
Where'd you go
This is all such a low down dirty
Shame on you tonight, little girl
For expiring in our world

[Verse]
Emotionless in the dead of night
Where we normally laugh or fight
What’s it like when your heart carries vice
Toward the meaning of your life

[Chorus]
We were close
We were cold
We were sure to grow old
Where did you go
Where'd you go
This is all such a low down dirty
Shame on you tonight, little girl
For expiring in our world
Oh I say
Shame on you tonight, little girl
For expiring in our world

[Bridge]
Just turn your head
And go all night
I’ll be here
I’ll be alright
Just turn your head into the night
Turn away
I’ll be alright
Just turn away
Oh turn away
Just turn away

[Outro]
But I say shame
Oh I say shame
Oh I say
Shame on you tonight little girl
For expiring in our world
