I like the powder blue dresses 
stewardesses wear on Korean Air 
the skins too wine, and the body so fine. 
All the same height, and they have the same waist line 
But there is one who stood upon 
an emtag* way, changed par... 
she had a white watch and muted spot* 
I thought about her when the night grew dark. 
In my hotel room in Tokyo 
and by the time that I awoke 
my guitar was broken and in need of repair 
thanks through the hassles, Korean Air 
but i roomed* myself a one last show 
and i made a few friends, Choco and Coco 
walking down near the train station below 
hugged them good-bye as I walked back eye* 
Remember the girl who i had la... ched* 
grew up in a cardboard box 
and the town calmed dormin / down in. 
she shooked* my spirit, and she read on my thoughts 
but I had some lump* back home 
so I never pursuit her and recorded telephone 
I wondered if she knew if I ... 
I wondered if she thought that I had used her 
and by the time that I awoke 
around my neck the fellow finger's stroke 
I felt a j... off and an electrical sting, 
I felt the pull-off, an invisible string. 
Is it my future falling? 
Or is it the past to call in? 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 
Anything that hurts makes me shiver. 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 
My dirty reflection shimmered in the rain. 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 
All forgotten blues be open my heart. 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 
I was five years old the last time I slept, 
a quiet night before the loudness quit* 
I wrote poetry throughout my teens 
and I forsee* that my childhood dreams. 
Teachers told me I couldn't write 
they* are never make a living when I touch anyones right. 
People told me I couldn't sing 
that I wouldn't mount* much of anything 
And by the time that I awoke 
I was 25 years old and crossing an ocean 
working hard to develop my sound 
homecity sick*, covered in ground 
And by the time that I had awoken 
I was one of a handful of the chosen* 
to take upon* just to take the arrows* 
to b... to blood us ...? 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 
Any useful words that I had ... 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 
When I was alone, flocked* desperate 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 
when I couldn't trap womblebee* (bumblebee) 
I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 
when I am in a crowd, I am so lonely. 
I met the most beautiful lump* 
walking along San-Francisco Bay* 
She gasped* me through the pillows* 
through the long unlit hall ways* 
Below the surface beneath the distractions 
beneath my dummy* jerk reactions 
it's to her I owe everything 
it is for her that my heart sings 
and by the time that I awoke 
finger's loose and on their ... 
and by the time that I awoke
