8. REMEMBER ME

When I awoke, it seemed like a joke:
I couldn't remember my name.
Where did I live? My mind was a sieve,
And who in the hell was this dame?

My clothes were a mess, but I tried my best
To sneak out before she could wake.
I slipped from the house, and felt like a louse,
But some things I just couldn't fake.

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

I walked for a while, probed my mind for that file:
The one that could tell me a bit.
My brain was a blank. My heart and hope sank,
So I found a park bench for a sit.

A bum came along. He was singing a song.
He carried a bottle of wine.
He sat next to me. He reeked of old pee.
He was pungent of grape from the vine.

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

He elbowed my side without breaking stride
In his song…he simply kept crooning.
He offered the carafe. He asked for no tariff.
So I drank some, then, BAM! I was swooning!

My memories came back, mind sharp as a tack.
That wine was a magical brew.
So I shook that bum's hand. I felt really grand.
I took off to go find my crew.

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

Remember...
Remember...
Remember my name?

It's not a game.
Who's to blame?
I couldn’t remember my name.

It's not a game.
Who's to blame?
I couldn’t remember my name.
