Memphisto Speaks Songtext
von Carrousel

Layaway lies at the end of a dream
You had a momentary vision of a desolate scene
Turning gods into beggars, turning foes into kings

Innocent eyes make indomitable foes
You got a taciturn maker only telling you no
You had it kissing at ya, coming for ya, keeping you low

Quiet, we regress
Innocence, will it last forever?
What red hands have you caught?
Oh my God, will it last forever?


Suddenly, I′m unsure
Suddenly, I'm afraid

Ceremonies celebrate inevitable youth
It′s just a syncopated, sycophantic copy of you
These exotica compulsions gonna come and seduce

Why don't ya go find some leaves and hide
From the same rotten tree that I told you to bite
You better run, run away to California and hide

Suddenly, I'm betrayed
Suddenly, I′m alone
Suddenly, you, you′re gone
