Here's a song that finally you can understand
A minor statetement meant to counteract the bland
A list of wraithlike things, that quicken the heart

Just another song of faded memory
A raison d'etre for the entire family
I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell

Copies of sight and sound
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her voice
That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before

Find some transparent words to give security
Another vacant smile that says rely on me
No way, commitment's a bore
Where have I heard it before?

I could've sworn that everything was crystal clear
But I was shackled by a language of ideas
A desert has its own rules
Outside the circle it's cruel

Copies of sights and sounds
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her voice
That's untrue
It's just not as sharp as before

(voices, voices/ promises, promises)
(What is a good day?)

The final verse is often meant to tie things up
But in this case my morals've been most corrupt
I don't remember it well
I was in love for a spell

Copies of sights and sounds
She left lying around on the floor
She said I'd forget her face
That's a lie
It's just not as real as before
