Obliterate the memory of coming to at dawn Knowing only that the night was someplace that you had gone Upon amber waves on the showboat of laughter And you cannot change the way you slid down railings in the lobby And then again down the gangway shortly after obliterate the memory of coming to at dawn Knowing only that the night has gone Obliterate the grass stains from the cloth You were only in the grassy fields to pick a hollyhock You want to stick it to the stem again By fusing up the atoms and then believe that it will live again Just from the power of you refusing to believe it cannot happen Obliterate the memory of coming to at dawn Knowing only that the night has gone Obliterate the memory of coming to at dawn Knowing only that the night has gone Wha-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Wha-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Wha-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Wha-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Obliterate the cherry and the wild berry juices That you trailed along the hallways of the whorehouse that you used As a store room for your fox furs and the harvest from the orchard Full of hollyhocks and cherry trees and other flowery images Of course you wanted everything cold But when you opened up the door everything got old I said of course you wanted everything cold but when you opened up the door all the flower petals folded
Obliterate your speech so you cannot ask forgiveness For hanging with the vampires when there was no one to witness The submission of the skin upon your neck All they wanted was a dance you gave your peace of mind instead There is a tower with a winding set of stairs you will descend into the absolute light Into the absoluteness of light And come aware and become aware Wha-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
