Cass McCombs - Memory's Stain lyrics
[Cass McCombs - Memory's Stain lyrics]
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, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds over you
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, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds over you
Well, I’ll be damned!
A calf is easy to brand
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, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds over you
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, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds over you
Well, I’ll be damned!
A calf is easy to brand
