I remember when they used to sing
And they danced around
And their heads were covered by the rain
And they danced around
There was no turning back
There was no escaping
From the big blue sky
They were eyes like a fire
And light in their eyes
You could see them falling on the ground
They would fall in love
They would fall in love
They would fall in love
Yeah, they would fall in love
Yeah, they would fall in love
I remember
I remember
I remember

a time when everything was peaceful and the dancers were good. Our faces were darkened
by all the charcoal, as if covered by the silt of a fire. No one would recognize us
from afar. The girls didn't want to see our faces. The dancers, whose faces you could
recognize from afar, would not get praised. People would say the dance was not good, and
leave early. I remember. I remember. I remember. It happened always and everywhere. We didn't
count the individual places.
The feathers and furs and the grease would look fresh. Never dusty and dull. The dancers
were good. I remember. I remember. He would dance around. He'd be walking right around
the corner. He would move around. There was no turning back. There was no escape.
There was no escaping from the big blue sky. He had eyes like a fire and light in his eyes.
You could see him falling on the ground. He would fall in love. He would fall in love.
He would fall in love. He would fall in love. He would fall in love.
He would fall in love.
Yeah, he will fall in love
I remember sometimes a dance would end up in confusion
And spectators would leave quickly
But that was okay
Because the gods would always help again
Gods do give
And they do get upset sometimes
I remember
Sometimes in the big city
A soul figure would come out of a door
And stalk the streets
He didn't want no trouble
He was waiting
For the girls to start their dances
And their dresses of many shapes and colors
He would hide behind corners
People would say, he's walking again
I remember
I remember
I remember
And the princes of actors would sit in her castle
And spin stories
Sometimes she would cut her fingers
And then the blood would stain the part of her dress
Where it was most thin
And it would sing through to her skin
These were the days of sleepless nights
I remember
I remember
Sometimes now when I sit alone I remember
I don't want no change
So I paint my face again and sit there just like before
And remember, and remember
And remember, and remember
We're escaping from the big blue sky
There's a hole in the heaven and it is decided
That we're leaving this town, yeah
And we'll fall in love, yeah
We will fall in love
Yeah, we will fall in love
Yeah, we will fall in love
Yeah
I remember
When we just used to sit
And wait for the good weather to come back
We didn't want any change
Your eyes were all the more glowing
With all the darkness around them
And I remember
I loved you
Simple, simple
And when life in town became too hard
We would try and change places
We would move downtown and again uptown
And the sun would rise and the sun would go down
And the men in suits would talk about pink ladies in elevators
Life would go on and life would go on
Until we decided that it was time to leave the city
to the pale trial
And do our own thing
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember

I remember
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
