lyrics

Arms Around A Memory

It don’t mean nothing, if you haven’t got the nerve
You’ve been looking for trouble and buddy I’m about to serve
So look into the camera and tell your dirty lies
Reveal your secrets & cover up your shifty eyes

If that’s the way you like it
Then you’re living in the past like me
When you’ve run out of lying
Put your arms around a memory

It don’t come easy, when you haven’t got a brain
With edges & corners your words go down the drain
Put nothing in, you get nothing back
Blame everybody when your train runs off the track

If that’s the way you want it
Then you’re living in the past like me
When you’ve run out of lying
Put your arms around a memory (twice)

S O L O

Now you’re coming down fast
That’s the way it has to be
The fall is hard when your pride come c.o.d.

If that’s the way you like it
Then your vision is as bad as me
All your future plans are dying
Put your arms around a memory
If that’s the way you want it
Then your living in the past you see
When you’ve run out of lying
Put your arms around a memory
Put your arms around a memory
Put your arms around a mem….ory
Memory, memory
