They say I'm just like you, minus the bad things Sometimes the bad doesn't seem so wrong to me, 'cause I still smell the cigarettes inside of your coat pocket And hear exactly how you used to sing, oh Ash trays and piano notes jumbled together The history of earth before dinner They say I'm just like you, minus the bad things But I am forgetting what that means Memory, memory, memory Can you return now and talk to me Before you're a ghost in my dreams? Memory, memory, memory Why are you hiding out now from me? You're fading so far off from me, oh They say I'm just like you, minus the bad things But I can't remember what they mean I can't see the details, only the broad strokes Of who it is that you really were, oh Cadillac to hell and back and Saturday mornings Breakfast coffee and a brief lecture, oh They say I'm just like you, now I am wondering If I will remember anything Memory, memory, memory Can you return now and talk to me Before you're a ghost in my dreams? Memory, memory, memory Why are you hiding out now from me? You're fading so far off from me, oh They say I'm just like you, minus the bad things But I can't remember what they mean Memory, memory, memory Memory, memory, memory Memory, memory, memory Can you return now and talk to me Before you're a ghost in my dreams? Memory, memory, memory Why are you hiding out now from me? You're fading so far off from me, oh They say I'm just like you, minus the bad things But I can't remember what they mean
