Forgetting yourself is more difficult than finding yourself in the sun at night
Than understanding politicians or buying the Eiffel Tower
More difficult than smoking a cigar on American Airlines
More difficult than a withered plastic flower
Forgetting you is more difficult than a skinny girl in a Botero
Than finding a green cat, or a a tasteless Cuban
More difficult than Lady Di in the subway station
Forget you, it's so difficult to forget you
Forget you, forget you
It's wanting to pull the hair of a bottle
It is believing that memory is a cassette to be erased
Forgetting yourself is remembering that it is impossible
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It is even more difficult It's easy to put up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your jealousy for no reason
How can I not miss your body on my mattress
Forgetting you is an attempt that I don't want so much
Because I try so hard that I remember much more
And I have come to suspect that my desire not to remember
Is what has me sick of memories
Forgetting you is what I hope to resume my life
Sick of continuing to dream about the possibility
That one day by mistake, or pure curiosity
Ask a friend about my bones
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It's trying to pull the hair of a bottle
It's believing that memory is a cassette to be erased
Forgetting you is remembering that It's impossible
Forget you, forget you
It's even more difficult than putting up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your jealousy for no reason
Of course Missing your body on my mattress
Is wanting to pull the hair out of a bottle
It's believing that memory is a cassette to be erased
Forgetting is remembering that is impossible
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It's even more difficult than putting up with you
If I miss your neurosis and your jealousy for no reason
How can I not miss your body on my mattress
