you can't remember and i can't forget
You got land in Argentina, got a mansion in Baltimore.
Got a child you haven’t seen yet.
Got servants to clean your floor.
Got a vacuum cleaner assistant, sucks the marrow to the bone.
He’s discreet but he’s persistent, eats you out of house and home.
Ladies and gentlemen please place your bets.
You can’t remember and I can’t forget.
You cut the cards but there’s still only one pile.
What are you hiding under your smile?
Your tumbleweed freedom can’t find my rest stop.
Your tape-recorded message says, “Thanks a lot”.
Ghosts of the past fight with ghosts of the future.
Those kinds of wounds can’t be closed with suture.
Aces and eights are in the cards yet.
But you can’t remember and I can’t forget.
You got a mountain that’s named after the prince of defeat.
Got an army of losers that can’t be beat.
Got a magician who can make experience disappear.
Got early morning fog that makes everything clear.
You know, even when you are far away, you are still near.
It’s a one way trip for Top Gun and his jet
But you can’t remember and I can’t forget.
They are gathered around, a spectacle is out there.
The battle of the Titans is a family affair.
Ten will get you ten 50 that it’s all a done deal.
There ain’t good but there’s plenty when you’re steering the wheel.
I ain’t got no appetite but the table is set.
My breaths don’t equal my oxygen debt.
Sweet lord see what you did beget.
I’m looking into the saintly face of Bernadette
That you can’t remember and I can’t forget.
