| [00:09.52] |
Please, remember me happily |
| [00:17.91] |
By the rosebush laughing |
| [00:22.13] |
With bruises on my chin, the time when |
| [00:31.32] |
We counted every black car passing |
| [00:35.47] |
Your house beneath the hill |
| [00:41.43] |
And up until someone caught us in the kitchen |
| [00:49.23] |
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank |
| [00:58.78] |
A vision too removed to mention |
| [01:03.98] |
But please, remember me fondly |
| [01:12.55] |
I heard from someone you're still pretty |
| [01:16.80] |
And then they went on to say |
| [01:22.50] |
That the pearly gates |
| [01:26.61] |
Had some eloquent graffiti |
| [01:30.76] |
Like "We'll meet again" and "Fuck the man" |
| [01:40.23] |
And "Tell my mother not to worry" |
| [01:44.83] |
And angels with their great handshakes |
| [01:53.59] |
Were always done in such a hurry |
| [01:57.74] |
And please, remember me that Halloween |
| [02:06.34] |
Making fools of all the neighbors |
| [02:10.84] |
Our faces painted white |
| [02:15.21] |
By midnight, we'd forgotten one another |
| [02:24.50] |
And when the morning came I was ashamed |
| [02:33.70] |
Only now it seems so silly |
| [02:37.60] |
That season left the world and then returned |
| [02:46.06] |
And now you're lit up by the city |
| [02:51.05] |
So please, remember me mistakenly |
| [02:58.69] |
In the window of the tallest tower |
| [03:04.00] |
Calling passers-by but much too high |
| [03:11.26] |
To see the empty road at happy hour |
| [03:16.08] |
Gleam and resonate, just like the gates |
| [03:24.80] |
Around the holy kingdom |
| [03:28.50] |
With words like "Lost and found" and "Don't look down" |
| [03:36.86] |
And "Someone save temptation" |
| [03:40.60] |
And please, remember me as in the dream |
| [03:48.75] |
We had as rug-burned babies |
| [03:52.50] |
Among the fallen trees and fast asleep |
| [04:00.45] |
Aside the lions and the ladies |
| [04:04.29] |
That called you what you like and even might |
| [04:12.50] |
Give a gift for your behavior |
| [04:16.24] |
A fleeting chance to see a trapeze |
| [04:25.01] |
Swinger high as any savior |
| [04:29.36] |
But please, remember me, my misery |
| [04:36.94] |
And how it lost me all I wanted |
| [04:40.51] |
Those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains |
| [04:48.50] |
The colored birds above their running |
| [04:52.51] |
In circles around the well and where it spells |
| [05:00.61] |
On the wall behind St. Peter |
| [05:04.66] |
So bright, on cinder gray, in spray paint |
| [05:12.30] |
"Who the hell can see forever?" |
| [05:16.00] |
And please, remember me seldomly |
| [05:24.39] |
In the car behind the carnival |
| [05:28.90] |
My hand between your knees, you turned from me |
| [05:35.90] |
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful |
| [05:40.20] |
But never meant to last", the clown that passed |
| [05:48.14] |
Saw me just come up with anger |
| [05:51.09] |
When it filled with circus dogs, the parking lot |
| [05:59.79] |
Had an element of danger |
| [06:07.60] |
So please, remember me finally |
| [06:16.99] |
And all my uphill clawing |
| [06:21.78] |
My dear, but if I make the pearly gates |
| [06:31.91] |
I'll do my best to make a drawing |
| [06:36.46] |
Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl |
| [06:44.69] |
An angel kissing on a sinner |
| [06:48.38] |
A monkey and a man, a marching band |
| [06:56.73] |
All around a frightened trapeze swinger |
| [07:03.40] |
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na |
| [07:31.63] |
|
