  • Oh I remember things not many things
    Don't remember where my feet touch the ground
    I remember every word and every sound
    I remember every word and every sound
    I remember things not many things
    Don't remember when the ships hit the sea
    But I remember my name and what they paid for me

    Bop-ba-ba-da
    Ba-ba-da
    Ba-ba-da-da
    Lay me back down
    In the bed with the cold-hearted people
    Listen to the word
    Lay me back down
    In the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
    Listen to the word
    Lay me back down

    I remember things not many things
    Don't remember presidents or what they did
    I remember the wars and just who profited
    I remember the wars and just who profited
    I remember things not many things
    Don't remember places in time
    I don't remember when the ships hit the sea
    I remember the love and just who gave me it

    Bop-ba-ba-da
    Ba-ba-da
    Ba-ba-da-da
    Lay me back down
    In the bed with the cold-hearted people
    Listen to the word
    Lay me back down
    In the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
    Listen to the word
    Lay me back down

    Lay me back down
    Lay me back down
    Lay me back down
    Lay me back down
    Lay me back down
    (lay me back down)
    Lay me back down

    I hear them calling me back to the ground
    Lay me back down
    In the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
    Listen to the word
    Lay me back down

    Lay me back down
