Verse (Riff 1)
You got me walking on water Pretending I'm God
You got me flying A lazy little sod
You got me creeping Doing everything I can
To prove to you That I really am a man
Chorus: (Riff 2)
Verse (Riff 1)
You can see my flesh wound See my little scar
You can see me crashing In some unknown car
You can see me dying On some lonely road
You can see me feeling my way But nowhere to go
Chorus: (Riff 2)
End (Riff1)
I've got a good memory As I recall, such a good memory (repeat)
I never forget a thing, as I recall, I never forget a thing you know you had me as I recall, as I recall
Remember me, I was your friend, I was your friend, I was your friend
