Past Imperfect Lyrics

Excuse me, could I use your pen, I have mislaid my own
Somewhere out here in s***e and time between this place and home
Maybe she lies on the subway platform, forsaken and forlorn
All of this and more and that's not all
I can't recall
What was on my mind in Amsterdam in 1984 ?
And what did I want from the pouring rain ?
Was it phonographic score ?
And why was my head in the unmade bed with a girl who's name I lost ?
I can't unwrite the tune or discount the cost
I can't recall
I met a bartender at 3 of Clubs which is somewhere in LA
I thought, maybe, he was a friend of mine, I almost knew his face
Reluctantly impressionist, no star to chart my course
Ships pass in the night and take on board, more than I recall

Excuse me, could I use your pen, I have mislaid my own
Somewhere out here in all this s***e and time between this place and home
Maybe she lies on the check out station, forsaken and forlorn
I've half a mind to find myself and half...
I can't recall precise Coordinates
I can't recall entire relationships
I can't recall the colour of her eyes
Or the feeling of her skin pressing against mine
I can't recall
