Memory's Stain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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, look now
Look now, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds
Over you
Look now, look now
Look now, look now
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, look now
Look now, look now
Look now, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds
Over you
Look now (look now)
Look now (look now)
Well, i'll be damned!
A calf is easy to brand
Is easy to brand
Is easy to brand
Is easy
Is easy
