Jimmy Buffett - Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling lyrics]
She was no marine back from the Philippines
She was their pride and joy
Their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief
With shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation
The Indian on her back was
Poised for an attack
She said a tattoo is a badge of validation
But the truth of the matter
Is far more revealing
It's a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
It's no complex memento
It's not a subtle revealing
Just a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized
Chapel bells painfully ringing
Where's his limo ride
Who's this foreign bride?
Is that really Elvis spinning
Around the ceiling?
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love
What's this ring on his finger
Why is he kneeling?
She's just a permanent reminder
Of a temporary feeling
Chromosomes and genes spawn
These fateful scenes evolution can be mean
There's no dumbass vaccine
Blame your DNA, you're a victim of your fate
It's human nature to miscalculate
To make up for the fight
They go out for the night sex, drugs
And rock n roll seem like the easiest answer
But a short nine months later
There's no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Complex mementos, not subtle revealings
Just a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
She was their pride and joy
Their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief
With shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation
The Indian on her back was
Poised for an attack
She said a tattoo is a badge of validation
But the truth of the matter
Is far more revealing
It's a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
It's no complex memento
It's not a subtle revealing
Just a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized
Chapel bells painfully ringing
Where's his limo ride
Who's this foreign bride?
Is that really Elvis spinning
Around the ceiling?
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love
What's this ring on his finger
Why is he kneeling?
She's just a permanent reminder
Of a temporary feeling
Chromosomes and genes spawn
These fateful scenes evolution can be mean
There's no dumbass vaccine
Blame your DNA, you're a victim of your fate
It's human nature to miscalculate
To make up for the fight
They go out for the night sex, drugs
And rock n roll seem like the easiest answer
But a short nine months later
There's no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Complex mementos, not subtle revealings
Just a permanent reminder of
A temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
