D-DU-UDU
please remember me, happily by the rosebush laughing
with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car
passing
your house beneath the hill, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to
mention
But please remember me, fondly, I heard from someone youre still
pretty
And then, they went on to say That the pearly gates, has some
eloquent graffiti
Like, well, meet again, and fuck the man And tell my mother not to
worry
And angels with a great, handshake And all is done in such a hurry
And please remember me, at Halloween, Making fools of all the
neighbors
Are faces painted white, by midnight, We forgotten one another
And when The morning came, I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly,
That season Left the world and then returned And now your lit up by the City
So, Please, remember me, Mistakenly In the window of the tallest
tower call, Then pass us by, But much too high, To see the empty road at
Happy hour
Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And
'Someone Save Temptation'
And Please, remember me As in the dream, We had as rug-burned
babies
Among the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies
That called, you what you like, And even might, Give a gift for your
behavior
A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior
But Please, remember me, My misery, And how it lost me all I wanted
Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains
The colored birds above there running
In circles round the well, And where it spells
On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with
With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'
And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees, You turn from me
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last', The clown that passed,
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger
So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing
My dear But if I make The pearly Gates
Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer
A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner,
A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers
Na-na Na-na-na Na-na Na-na...
