lyrics
Autumn’s got the best of me but I’ve been thinking still
I talk a lot of memory sitting on your sill
Autumn said my faith would leave me in the night
I bet a lot on memory but my memory wasn’t right
Connie she’s been quiet now for so long it’s dark
I wondering is she dreaming, is she dead or is she gone
She wakes to sing Italian songs off into the hall
I wonder how I’ll pay my rent or how I’ll sing along
The fortress has lit up with the crosses that we bare
And we might go along with them or we might revolt still
From the thin mélange of memory, the lies we’ve taken to
Believe whatever you want to, believe them as I do
Autumn’s got the best of me, but she will linger yet
I bet it all on memory, but my memory will forget
So I painted you a picture from the moment in my mind
And I can’t recall just how it felt and the colors fade with time
The blacks become a green and the reds become a sea
Of grey vermillion ships, familiar ships a-sinking deep
And Connie she’s been quiet now for too long it seems
From the way that Georgia treated her she’s bruising like a peach
Her mind is made of plastic, melting as the sun
She slips and calls Philip “Joy” as she does everyone
Autumn’s got the best of me but I’ve been thinking still
I sing a lot of memory, but my memories are still
I talk a lot of memory sitting on your sill
Autumn said my faith would leave me in the night
I bet a lot on memory but my memory wasn’t right
Connie she’s been quiet now for so long it’s dark
I wondering is she dreaming, is she dead or is she gone
She wakes to sing Italian songs off into the hall
I wonder how I’ll pay my rent or how I’ll sing along
The fortress has lit up with the crosses that we bare
And we might go along with them or we might revolt still
From the thin mélange of memory, the lies we’ve taken to
Believe whatever you want to, believe them as I do
Autumn’s got the best of me, but she will linger yet
I bet it all on memory, but my memory will forget
So I painted you a picture from the moment in my mind
And I can’t recall just how it felt and the colors fade with time
The blacks become a green and the reds become a sea
Of grey vermillion ships, familiar ships a-sinking deep
And Connie she’s been quiet now for too long it seems
From the way that Georgia treated her she’s bruising like a peach
Her mind is made of plastic, melting as the sun
She slips and calls Philip “Joy” as she does everyone
Autumn’s got the best of me but I’ve been thinking still
I sing a lot of memory, but my memories are still
