You Or Your Memory - The Mountain Goats

I checked into a bargain priced room on la cienega

Gazed out through the curtains of the parking lot

Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my bare feet

Black tarry asphalt soft and hot

And when I came back I spread out my supplies

On the counter by the sink

I looked myself right in the eyes

St joseph's baby aspirin

Bartles and jaymes

And you or your memory

I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise

Gathered in my loose ends switched off the light

And down there in the dark I can see the real truth about me

As clear as day lord if I make it through tonight

Then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of

My days

St joseph's baby aspirin

Bartles and jaymes

And you or your memory
