[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]
