Memory Shuffle

Intro]

There's a song in my head…

Some-somewhere be-be-tween the scratches.

It plays for a moment—

then it sk-sk-skips.

Dust on a photograph frame

Someone laughing, I know that name

Summer light through window glass

But the moment doesn't last

Footsteps down a wooden hall

Shadows dancing on the wall

I almost hear you when I call

Then the needle jumps again

Spin the record slow tonight

Something hiding in the light

I almost see the scene begin

but the needle skips a—skips a—

The r—r—record spins

(Memories start again)

I see the room, I feel the night

(then it slips from sight)

Skip skip skipping through my mind

(Pieces out of time)

I swear I knew this song back then

but the r—r—record skips again

Streetlights humming in the rain

Passing cars and distant trains

Something warm inside my brain

like a tune I used to play

Every now and then it shines

Tiny sparks between the lines

Little ghosts of other times

then they slowly fade away

wait—

I remem—

I remem—

I remember

the kitchen light

the radio

your vo—vo—voice

laughing in the hall

then—

static

Skip in the groove

(still we move)

Skip in the groove

(play that tune)

The record spins inside my mi—

sk—skip—

The record skips, the record spins

Memories start then fade again

I see the room, I feel the night

then it slips from sight

Skip skip skipping through my mind

Pieces lost between the lines

I swear I knew this song back then

but the record skips again

spin…

skip—
