from What You Whispered
|
..............................................
|
|
You say you get so haunted by these memories
|
Well of course there must be plenty that you'd just as soon forget
|
Here's a chance to wash away your history
|
We haven't tried this on civilians yet
|
But you'll have to take that risk to get this chance at riches
|
And how much could it be worth to keep those same bad dreams
|
Just climb up on the table and let me throw the switches
|
Its really a remarkable machine
|
And the switch is by your head
|
|
And when its done, you won't know how you got here
|
But you could write yourself a letter, yes you'll still know how to read
|
Just draw yourself a map to where you're living
|
And put a label on each one of your keys
|
When your friends will try to tease you, you just won't remember
|
What a fool your were in high school over some old flame
|
Just climb up on the table I can quench the ember
|
The past will never bother you again
|
And the switch is by your head when you're ready
|
|
Truth be told, this big machine does nothing
|
There's a change that brings a difference into all these people's lives
|
To free them from the past that was their prison
|
What gives them passage is just the fact that they decide
|
You see this big machine is harmless, it just scares them shitless
|
Its louder than a spaceship and the lights are strange
|
They climb up on the table and I throw the switches
|
And it helps them to believe that they can change
|
And the switch is by your head when you're ready
|
