Villagers - Memoir Lyrics
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But the tenderness I felt has been replaced by somethin' new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But the unity I felt has been replaced by somethin' new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
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But the tenderness I felt has been replaced by somethin' new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But the unity I felt has been replaced by somethin' new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
