"Shame" as written by and Brian Wayne Transeau....
My lonely doll, she came again
Frozen wall like teenage skin
And neither for what comes within
A substance cloud like sinking sin
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
[repeat]
Every time
(It's such a shame)
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
Still smell of fear, she came again
A frozen wall like teenage skin
She'll break my fall, begin my friend
Small substance cloud like sinking sin
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
It's such a shame
It's such a shame
Frozen wall like teenage skin
And neither for what comes within
A substance cloud like sinking sin
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
[repeat]
Every time
(It's such a shame)
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what she says
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
Still smell of fear, she came again
A frozen wall like teenage skin
She'll break my fall, begin my friend
Small substance cloud like sinking sin
You told your great tale and it's always the same
"Quite a shame that it goes this way," is what you said
How very bizarre, all these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
It's such a shame
It's such a shame

I feel the same way about this song as render. A sexual vibe to it.
I kinda feel like it reflects on me a little. I like older guys, about 10-15 years older than my self. And I have always had a feeling like it's a older guy maybe 35 years old singing about his younger lover, guessing she is maybe 20 or something.
I'm not all agreed with the lyrics here. I always thougt he said "My" lonely doll. Not "A" lonely doll.
And it sounds like both "You told your great tale", as it says here, and "It's such a great tale" as I thought it was..
