Have you been to Perish lately? Such a special town Avenues and boulevards They take you up and down Statues throw their long, long shadows Ruins of belief The city where I lost my memory The city where I lost my dreams I walk my turtle home It takes forever >From morning until dawn I walk so slow, dear I swear I can see... That nothing retains it form Watch me as I cross the river "Sin" Premiere-around-this-man, that's where I'll begin I walk my turtle home It takes forever When everything is gone Take one step at the time, dear And you'll see it too... That nothing retains it form This is how much I had This is what I gave away This is what I'm left with
