Memory Lame

Jim O'Rourke

    Continues after the ad

    It's quite a gamble to speak out of place
    Those things could kill you but so could your face

    What occupies me, pays a low rent
    Because fondness makes the heart grow absent

    These things I say, may seem kinda cruel
    So here's something from my heart to you
    Looking at you, reminds me of looking at the sun
    And how the blind are so damn lucky

    Those holes on your face could be used better ways
    Breathing's a distraction when you chatter away

    Continues after the ad

    These things I say, may seem to be lies
    To seem risque, or sensationalized

    And too many people can remember your name
    Always walking you down memory lame

    These things I say, may seem to offend
    But not half as much, as I'd like to intend
    Listening to you, reminds me of
    A motor's endless drone
    And how the deaf are so damn lucky

    I'd be happy, if life came to a stall
    Then I wouldn't need my senses at all

    These things I say, might seem out of line
    But day to day, I'm right every time
    Looking at you, reminds me of
    Looking at the sun
    Too long

    You'll find
    That in no time
    You'll be talking to yourself
    Along with everybody else
    Then you'll despise
    The look in their eyes
    It may be difficult to tell
    If your looking at yourself
    And you look fine
    If you don't mind
    That gaping hole that's on your face
    A black hole that's out of place
    And out of time
    In a tight bind
    To find something smart to say
    When a silence comes your way
