I wanted To forgive you and forget But now I´m haunted I wanted To forgive you and forget
But now I´m haunted By what replaces you instead There´s no city whose end Was so lamentable as Memphis Today is not even a ruin As I crack a smile While you fade to death Oh no, Claudette
I couldn´t help but crack a smile
The further you get My darling I´m filled with regret Tall figures encircle us You´re staggering in red So cold and led astray Betrayed by the Good Place
The God Crown in their Outstretched hands We´re forced to walk away Then the wolves descend...
Oh Claudette I knew you´d lead me astray No Claudette I don´t want you to stay Go Claudette And drift away from the light No Claudette I can´t keep from smiling
