I go out in public now
More than you might think,
But only after several drinks.
That's how I remember.
Then if I see any girl
I've ever met before
I run like hell for the door.
That's how I remember.

And interpretations.
Then it plays them back
As gospel fact.

With one eye open you can
focus like a camera on
Whomever you are capturing.
Without exception I prefer it
As a way to document
The objects of my interest.

Red and yellow, black and white
Are precious in his sight.
But who he roots for in a fight,
That's how I remember.
So everytime I find a girl
Beaten, gagged and bound
I let her go and write it down.
