[bad word] as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah. [bad word] doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be.
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memory.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.

And I swear that I don't have a gun,
No, I don't have a gun.
No, I don't have a gun.

Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
(Don't have a gun.)

And I swear that I don't have a gun,
No, I don't have a gun.
No, I don't have a gun.
No, I don't have a gun.
No, I don't have a gun.

Memory, ah.
Memory, ah.
