People Forget

I remember
Falling out of the sky
I was sixteen tons of wreckage
Trying to learn how to fly!
Return to sender
The water is coming up fast
Screaming to the current
“They shoot horses don’t they?!”

Casting a slur I heard voice from the river
Ringing out through the bones of its lantern jaw

People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
And I just want to remind you!

And when I landed
Hitting every branch down
My ‘chute had failed to open
Tangled baby under the sun

Yeah, I was baited
On a hook and a wire
Teasing at the current in heart of the Mekong Delta

Casting a slur I hear a voice from the river
Ringing out through the bones of its lantern jaw

People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
And I just want to remind you!

People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
And I just want to remind you!

In every coroner’s bag is an atheist
Sprung from the foxhole that he dug
Don’t count me out, now
Baby, count me out now
I’m like a diamond in the rough (so rough)

Don’t count me out, now
Baby, count me out now
I’m like a diamond in the rough

Diamonds seem to make the perfect cut
But time it waits for no man
An indefinite stay of execution
Until I’m dragged to my crooked home

Don’t count me out, now
Baby, count me out now
I’m like a diamond in the rough (so rough)

Don’t count me out, now
Baby, count me out now
I’m like a diamond in the rough

People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
And I just want to remind you!

People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
People forget
People tend to forget
And I just want to remind you!
