permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

she was no marine back from the philippines

she was their pride and job

their incarnation. her parents viewed the chief

with shock and disbelief

looking for some other explanation. the indian

her back was poised for an attack. she said 'a tattoo is a badge of validation'. but the truth of the matter is far more revealing. it's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

amnesic episodes that never go away. it's no complex memento

it's no subtle revealing. just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. vegas in the rain

drunk on cheap champagne

he hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells

painfully ringing. where's his limo ride? who's this foreign bride?

is this really elvis spinning round the ceiling?

permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love. what is this ring on his finger? why is he kneeling?

she's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. chromosomes and genes

spawn these fateful scenes. evolution can be mean

there's no 'dumb ass' vaccine. blame your dna

you're a victim of your fate. it's human nature to miscalculate. to make up for the fight they go out for the night. sex

drugs and rock 'n' roll seems like the easiest answer. but a short nine months later

there's no way of concealing

that permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

amnesic episodes that never go away. complex mementos

not subtle revealings. just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
