Gift Economy Songtext
von Dumaresq

Does something about this seem funny?
We can get the canned laughter
To make them believe that the joke landed
Does something about this seem hollow to you?
There′s a meanness in it
I didn't forget

We all lost our jobs
At the rendering plant
Once the glue starts sticking
You don′t come back
I mean, do you want a lighter or a match?

You weren't there to greet me
When I left the jail
You said one was in prison
The other in hell
But who was who you couldn't tell


Hey
I think I remember
I think I remember
Then I forget
Then I forget

Truth
Always and ever
Always and ever
Always and

Together we can become ghosts
Apparitions only visible
On the outskirts of the superhighway
Together we will be forgotten
If there′s a happiness left
We′ll rediscover it

So pack up your life
Put your things order
Leave the dog some food
And message for mother
Here we disappear


Cut off your finger
And shave your head
Leave the suicide note
At the foot of your bed
And jump out the window

Hey
I think I remember
I think I remember
Then I forget
Then I forget

Truth
Always and ever
Always and ever
Always and

Hey
I think I remember
I think I remember
Then I forget
Then I forget

Truth
Always and ever
Always and ever
Always
