I could pass a polygraph
oh oh oh - -
there's something we forget when we're born
there's something we forget when we're born

Guess which state i'm calling from
it's never what you guess to me
there's free love in the corridor
and no, it's not for charity
i'm putting up with false alarms
because I'm an enthusiast
someone let me my family know when i'm finally through with this

when you think it's gonna stop it just starts again
we're cycling through the possible nows

I could build a monument
oh oh oh
but there's something we forget when we're born

my lawyer calls, the house explodes
some rivers flow eternally
there's dancing girls out in the wings
placed there as a courtesy
take exit 10 off of highway 1 & tell me where you land
i'd mention more specifics but i'm not your biggest fan

you're gorgeous, like a painting, like some outsider art
your eyes askew, your yellow teeth, your arms too far apart
but you take me as I am so I'll never stop appearing
in visions three, in dreams alike, come here my heir apparent

you can stare down the lanes into makeshift frames
I can feel the night just waking up

We could try some ritual
oh oh oh
but there's something we forget when we're born
there's something we forget when we're born
