My favorite song from my favorite artist - really deep lyrics. Truly haunting stuff, from the "Such Great Heights" single album Capo 3 C/G/F/C/G 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 hills, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to mention... Please remember me fondly, I heard from someone you're still pretty And then they went on to say that the pearly gates had such eloquent grafitti Like "we will meet again" and "fuck the man" and "tell my mother not to worry" The angels with their gray handshakes, always done in such a hurry... Please remember me, on Halloween, making fools of all the neighbors Our faces painted white, by midnight we'd forgotten one another And when the morning came I felt ashamed, only now it seems so silly That season left the world and then returned but now you're lit up by the city... Please remember me mistakenly in the window of the tallest tower Call and pass us by but much too high to see the empty road at happy hour Gleam 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..." Please remember me as in the dream we had as rug-burned babies Among the fallen trees but fast asleep aside the lions and the ladies Who call you what you like and even might give a gift for your behavior A fleeting chance to see the trapeze swinger high as any savior... Please remember me, my misery, and how it lost me all I wanted The dogs that love the rain and chasing trains, the colored birds above their running In circles 'round the well, near where it spells on the wall behind St. Peters So bright on cinder gray with spraypaint "who the hell can see forever?" Please remember me seldomly in the car behind the carnival My hand between your knees you turned from me and said the trapeze act was wonderful But never meant to last, the clowns that passed saw me just come up with anger And filled with circus dogs, the parking lot, had an element of danger... Please remember me finally and all my uphill clawing My dear, if I make the pearly gates I'll 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 a frightened trapeze swinger(Less)
