Memoir |
| The city lights are beckoning |
| Their sirens softly call |
| All the fantasists and fetishist |
| Are preparing the ball |
| When you’ve been stuck here on the doorstep |
| With nothing to forsake |
| But you might as well be anyone’s to take |
| So I give myself to strangers |
| Like I gave myself to you |
| But the tenderness I felt |
| Has been replaced by something new |
| And in the orgy I can vaguely hear |
| The outline of your call |
| But I might as well be anyone’s at all |
| Every memory is sailing |
| To the kingdom of your soul |
| As you patiently await |
| I lose all sense of self-control |
| You were the lighthouse to my broken boat |
| But I left you behind |
| Now I might as well be anyone’s to find |
| Take my body, take it from me It is not worthy of your memory |
| I remember you undressing |
| As I set myself on fire |
| And the funeral was quick |
| As I lay lifeless on your pyre |
| Well it’s a kind of desperation |
| And it’s just something you can’t fake |
| Oh I might as well be anyone’s to take |
| So I give myself to strangers |
| Like I gave myself to you |
| But the unity I felt |
| has been replaced by something new |
| Now I am Helen and I am Mary Jane |
| I’m Robert and I am Paul |
| Oh I might as well be anyone at all |
| Yes I might as well be anyone at all |
| Oh I might as well be anyone at all |
| Oh I might as well be anyone at all |
