Memories I thought were long gone

I got to let them alone. Let them

Alone

Chorus: And all that you have

Like purveyors: Purverse, Purposeful

And full of neglect. These days we

Have been reduced to Surveyors:

More Severe, More Soulful, and

Actually capable of some respect

Chorus: Take off your uniform

Passed the point of no return

Ashes to ashes. return to cinder

Maybe I'm a ponderer.... Sweet drunk

On a pond of her tears

Chorus: Take off everything
