Lyrics for Memory's Stain
Memory's stain appeared to you in the bath Memory's stain, body laundered, Soul it hath I have a confession In the form of a question: How could you entertain Trading know-how for a stain? Look now, I'm no better Look now, our thrift sweater Pulled over you Look now, how wide are the holes! Look now, the power it holds Over you Well, I'll be damned! A calf is easy to brand Memory's stain; you're not content with my answer Memory's stain; on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer You're not bored, just sleep deprived Drunk on jealousy and pride Boozing is the highest aim When spittle won't get out Memory's stain Look now, I'm no better Look now, our thrift sweater Pulled over you Look now, how wide are the holes! Look now, the power it holds Over you Well, I'll be damned! A calf is easy to brand
