PClease, remember Gme
HappiFly
By the rCosebush lGaughing
With brCuises on my cGhin
The time wFhen
We counted eCvery black car pGassing
Your hAmouse beneath the hGill
And up untFil
Someone cCaught us in the kGitchen
With mAmaps, a mountain rGange
A piggy bFank
A vision tCoo removed to mGention
And
PClease, remember Gme
FondFly
I heard from sComeone you're still pGretty
And tChen they went on to sGay
That the pearly gFates
Had such eCloquent gGraffiti
Like &qAmuot;We'll mGeet again"
And "Fuck Fthe man"
And "TellC my mother notG to worry"
And aAmngels with their gGreat
HandshFakes
Were always dCone in such a hGurry
And
PClease, remember Gme
That HallowFeen
Making fCools of all the nGeighbors
Our fCaces painted wGhite
By midnFight
We'd forgCotten one anGother
And wAmhen the morning cGame
I was asFhamed
Only nCow it seems so sGilly
That sAmeason left the wGorld
And then retFurned
And now you're lCit up by the cGity
And
PClease, remember Gme
MistakenFly
In the wCindow of the tGallest tower
CCalling passers-Gby
We're much too hFigh
To see the eCmpty road at hGappy hour
GAmleam and resoGnate
Just like the gFates
Around the hColy kGingdom
With wAmords like "Lost Gand found"
And "Don't lFook down"
And "SomeCone save GTemptation"
And
PClease, remember Gme
As in the drFeam
We had as rCug-burn bGabies
ACmong the fallen tGrees
We're fast aslFeep
Beside the lCions and the lGadies
That cAmalled you what you lGike
And even mFight
Give a gCift for your bGehavior
A flAmeeting chance to sGee
F
A trapeze
Swinger hCigh as any sGavior
And
PClease, remember Gme
My miseFry
And how it lCost me all I wGanted
Those dCogs that love the rGain
And chasing trFains
The colored bCirds above their rGunning
In cAmircles around the wGell
And where it spFells
On the wCall behind St. PGeter
So bAmright on cinder gGray
In spray pFaint
"Who Cthe hell can Gsee forever?"
And
PClease, remember Gme
SeldomFly
In the cCar behind the cGarnival
My hCand between your kGnees
You turned from Fme
And said, "CThe trapeze act Gwas wonderful
But nAmever meant to lGast"
The clowns that pFassed
Saw me jCust come up with aGnger
When it fAmilled with circus dGogs
The parking lFot
Had an eClement of dGanger
And
PClease, remember Gme
FinalFly
And all my uCphill cGlawing
My dCear, but if I mGake
The pearly gFates
I'll do my bCest to make a dGrawing
Of AmGod and LGucifer
A boy and gFirl
An angel kCissing on a sGinner
A mAmonkey and a mGan
A marching bFand
All aCround the frightened tGrapeze swinger
CNa, na-Gna

Na-na-Cna, na-Gna

Na-na-Cna, na-Gna
