[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]
