Amnesia Cocktail
Listen/Buy
These will be your halcyon days
Remembering through nostalgic mists
the rigours of that drunken haze
As she wandered through that party drunk
she was underdressed and flirty
Said “Ill lick your plate clean boy”
As your tiny mind got dirty
But you won’t recall
How you stumbled and stalled
Because you never fail
Amnesia cocktail
You’re the hero of your age
If they’d just give you your own show
then you would be all the rage
You fell in love so hard and fast
your ears started to ring
She must fall down a lot god knows
that you don’t do that sort of thing
But you won’t recall
The lengths to which you made her crawl
Trembling and pale
Amnesia cocktail
Will you be watching as you life
goes sliding from quirk to disease
Just wondering where you left your wife
Your self-respect and your car keys
Now you’re a ghost upon this street
Madman creeping up your spine
The leather falling from your feet
That handprint lingers on your cheek
The slap as memory returns
The way your temper flares sometimes
The way a woman's body burns
But you won’t recall
That bloodstained wedding dress at all
Now she’s beyond the veil
Amnesia cocktail
