Have you been to Perish lately?
Such a special town
Avenues and boulevards
They take you up and down

Statues throw their long, long shadows
Ruins of belief
The city where I lost my memory
The city where I lost my dreams

I walk my turtle home
It takes forever
>From morning until dawn
I walk so slow, dear
I swear I can see...
That nothing retains it form

Watch me as I cross the river "Sin"
Premiere-around-this-man, that's where I'll
begin

I walk my turtle home
It takes forever
When everything is gone
Take one step at the time, dear
And you'll see it too...
That nothing retains it form

This is how much I had
This is what I gave away
This is what I'm left with
