lyrics

it’s the sin of Eve, she said
"i'd forget my face if it wasn’t on my head"
she takes out her wash, looks down at her name tag scrawled in her sharpied hand
her people all have amnesia oh they forget the sky they forget the sun the sand
she’s from someplace with a difficult name, understand, my friend that it aint no far-off land

memory of melody
i write the book of common prayer
melody of memory
i write the book of common prayer
memory of melody
it’s always in the air, here then there
melody of memory the notes they fly away from me
that’s why i write the book of common prayer

there was a sign on the piano
when it fell on steven, squashed him flat, shoulda seen the sign
susan wanted some music, but she couldn’t remember which was the fm dial
mikhail twisted his ankle, but the term for “doctor” escaped his forgetful mind
(the town all had amnesia, the splintering of sloppy, slidy minds)

i forget Your name forget Your face
(remind me) in Your way
trace the lines as grooves so they’ll stay
