| Do you remember when you could do anything you wanted to?
|
| They said you were the greatest one of the finest girls at the college uptown
|
| Do you remember when you could say anything you wanted to say
|
| They said you were the smartest one of the finest girls at the college uptown
|
| Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the yard
|
| They said the world is right in front of your feet
|
| And someday you’re gonna meet mr. |
| Marlon Brando,
|
| Live in a tango, build up a house of dreams
|
| And count the dasies
|
| Do you remember when your eyes had a drain
|
| There was a guy behind your lashes
|
| Showing all the pretty flashes of Humphrey Bogart eating his yoghurt
|
| Dining with Norma Jean
|
| Do you remember the first time you took a ride
|
| On the vertigo pony made of Mahogany
|
| Waving to the ducks by the surrogate clown
|
| Uptown smashing your leather balls
|
| Into the rusty cans shooting rabbits and monkeys
|
| Feeding the donkeys
|
| Waiting for the days to be blemished in frown
|
| Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the aisle
|
| Between the rivers that you saw in your dreams,
|
| The fainted flashes from kindergarten
|
| Swimming in bourbon chasing a big balloon
|
| You looked so happy shooting the blind with blanks on medicine square
|
| In the obituary rolling stone
|
| A metropolitician met Jo DiMaggio
|
| Playing arpeggio from the great beyond
|
| In the solitary home a woman’s talking through a phone
|
| With a man who is selling dreams for people who never close their eyes
|
| Unless they try to sleep
|
| In the solitary home by the TV all alone
|
| Her children left her years ago
|
| And her husband sails a world of paper souls and silhouettes
|
| When time hits the gravity nothing seems to measure up
|
| The days, weeks, months, years filling her up
|
| Stuck in a commercial
|
| Hideous like a dying tiny little puppy
|
| Skinny to the bone
|
| You bite the bullet twixt the cup and the lip in a monstrous town
|
| Where the jingles are fading
|
| Every time you try to change the channel
|
| You tune in, drop out, trying to shout
|
| But no one can hear their own voice when they dream
|
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!
|
| Hey hey do you remember when you stood in the yard
|
| I said the world is right in front of your feet
|
| And someday you’re gonna meet mr. |
| Marlon Brando
|
| Live in a tango, build up a house of dreams
|
| And count the dasies
|
| Do you remember when your eyes had a drain
|
| I was the guy behind your lashes
|
| Showing all the pretty flashes of Humphrey Bogart feeding you yoghurt
|
| From the great beyond |
