Mercury Rev, Deserter's Song, Tonite it Shows (@ Aula Magna)
Into a dream
I took a turn
And promised to return
The way we were
The way we met
The way I lit your cigarette
The way it trailed
Into a stream
And lay down between
You had to choose
A side to lose
And divide yourself in two
The way you were
Long before
You were a walking civil war
But you forget
Where the road goes
And tonight it shows
Into your soul
I tried to climb
But found the hole too high
For me to leave
The way I’d learn
And found I couldn’t turn
The way the trees
And falling rain
Remind me in a way
The way you were
The day we met
The way I lit your cigarette
The way you changed
Into a strange
Cole Porter phrase
But you forget
How the song goes
And tonight (last night!!)
It shows
