Villagers - Memoir lyrics

rate me

The city lights are beckonin', the sirens softly call

Of the fantasist and fetishists are preparin' the ball

When u've been stuck here on the doorstep with nothin' to forsake

Well, u might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers like I gave myself to u

But the tenderness I felt has been replaced by somethin' new

And in the orgy I can vaguely hear the outline of ur call

Well, I might as well be anyone's at all

Every memory is sailin' to the kingdom of ur soul

As u patiently await and lose all sense of self control

U were the lighthouse to my broken boat, but I've left u behind

Now I might as well be anyone's to find

Take my body take it from me, it is not worthy of ur memory

I remember u undressin' as I set myself on fire

And the funeral was quick as I lay lifeless on ur pyre

Well it's a kinda desperation & it's just somethin' u can't fake

Oh, I might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers like I gave myself to u

But the unity I felt has been replaced by somethin' new

Now I am Helen and I am Mary Jane, I am Robert and I am Paul

Oh, I might as well be anyone's at all

Yes I might as well be anyone at all
