Version 1 of the lyrics

Please remember me, happily

Please remember me, happily

By the rosebush laughing

By the rosebush laughing

With bruises on my chin, the time when

With bruises on my chin, the time when

We counted every black car passing

We counted every black car passing

Your house beneath the hill and up until

Your house beneath the hill and up until

Someone caught us in the kitchen

Someone caught us in the kitchen

With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank

With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank

A vision too removed to mention

A vision too removed to mention

But please remember me, fondly

But please remember me, fondly

I heard from someone you're still pretty

I heard from someone you're still pretty

And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates

And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates

Had some eloquent graffiti

Had some eloquent graffiti

Like 'We'll meet again' and 'Fuck the man'

Like 'We'll meet again' and 'Fuck the man'

And 'Tell my mother not to worry'

And 'Tell my mother not to worry'

And angels with their great handshakes

And angels with their great handshakes

But always done in such a hurry

But always done in such a hurry

And please remember me, at Halloween

And please remember me, at Halloween

Making fools of all the neighbors

Making fools of all the neighbors

Our faces painted white, by midnight

Our faces painted white, by midnight

We'd forgotten one another

We'd forgotten one another

And when the morning came I was ashamed

And when the morning came I was ashamed

Only now it seems so silly

Only now it seems so silly

That season left the world and then returned

That season left the world and then returned

And now you're lit up by the city

And now you're lit up by the city

So please remember me, mistakenly

So please remember me, mistakenly

In the window of the tallest tower

In the window of the tallest tower

Call, then pass us by but much too high

Call, then pass us by but much too high

To see the empty road at happy hour

To see the empty road at happy hour

Gleam and resonate just like the gates

Gleam and resonate just like the gates

Around the Holy Kingdom

Around the Holy Kingdom

1

With words like, 'Lost and found' and 'Don't look down

With words like, 'Lost and found'

1

1

and 'Don't look down'

1

And 'Someone save temptation'

And 'Someone save temptation'

And please remember me as in the dream

And please remember me as in the dream

We had as rug burned babies

We had as rug burned babies

Among the fallen trees and fast asleep

Among the fallen trees and fast asleep

Beside the lions and the ladies

Beside the lions and the ladies

That called you what you like and even might

That called you what you like and even might

Give a gift for your behavior

Give a gift for your behavior

A fleeting chance to see a trapeze

A fleeting chance to see a trapeze

Swinger high as any savior

Swinger high as any savior

But please remember me, my misery

But please remember me, my misery

And how it lost me all I wanted

And how it lost me all I wanted

Those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains

Those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains

The colored birds above there running

The colored birds above there running

In circles round the well and where it spells

In circles round the well and where it spells

On the wall behind St. Peter

On the wall behind St. Peter

So bright on cinder gray in spray paint

So bright on cinder gray in spray paint

'Who the hell can see forever?'

'Who the hell can see forever?'

And please remember me, seldomly

And please remember me, seldomly

In the car behind the carnival

In the car behind the carnival

My hand between your knees, you turn from me

My hand between your knees, you turn from me

And said the trapeze act was wonderful

And said the trapeze act was wonderful

But never meant to last, the clowns that passed

But never meant to last, the clowns that passed

Saw me just come up with anger

Saw me just come up with anger

When it filled with circus dogs, the parking lot

When it filled with circus dogs, the parking lot

Had an element of danger

Had an element of danger

So please remember me, finally

So please remember me, finally

And all my uphill clawing

And all my uphill clawing

My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates

My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates

2

I’ll do my best to make a drawing

I'll do my best to make a drawing

2

Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl

Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl

3

An angel kissin’ on a sinner

An angel kissin' on a sinner

3

A monkey and a man, a marching band

A monkey and a man, a marching band

All around the frightened trapeze swinger

All around the frightened trapeze swinger
