Lyrics

I Forget


Woke up this morning
And I didn?t know just who I was
Or who I was supposed to be

Am I a guru with a master plan?
Or just an unindicted businessman?

I don?t know
I sense a question in the air
I should know the answer, but I forget

First thing I did
Was to read the wake-up note I left myself
Beside the bed
There was one question written there:
Are you alive or are you dead?

I don?t know
I sense a question in the air
I should know the answer, but I forget

Am I an avatar of peace and love
Or an iron fist in a hippie glove?
I don?t know?
A lover to this wife of mine
Or just an absent man, marking time?
I don?t know, I don?t know
I should know the answer, but I forget

I counted summers
I counted years
Now I?m counting decades
I?m counting tears
I used to know the number
I used to know the number

There?s something at the back of my mind
Sandblasted by the hands of time
I?m having problems with my memories
Can?t seem to find my keys
Jeez I can?t find my knees
