I wanted To forgive you and forget But now I'm haunted By what replaces you instead There's no city whose end Was so lamentable as Memphis Today is not even a ruin As I crack a smile While you fade to death Oh no, Claudette I couldn't help but crack a smile The further that you get My darling I'm filled with regret, yeah Tall figures encircle us You're staggering in red So cold and led astray Betrayed by the Good Place The God Crown in their Outstretched hands We're forced to walk away Then the wolves descend Oh, Claudette I knew you'd lead me astray No, Claudette I don't want you to stay Go, Claudette And drift away from the light No, Claudette I can't keep from smiling
