Mmm, oh yeah, yeah
I remember when you used to sing
And they danced around
And their heads were covered by the rain
And they danced around
There was no turning back
There was no way escaping
From the big blue sky
They were eyes like a fire
And light in their eyes
You could see them falling on the ground
They would fall in love mmm
They would fall in love mmm
They would fall in love yeah
They would fall in love mmm
I remember
I remember a time
When everything was peaceful
And the dancers were good
Our faces were darkened by wood charcoal
As if covered by the soot of a fire
No-one would recognize us from afar
The Gods didn't want you to see our faces
The dancers who's faces you could recognize from afar
Would not get praised
And people would say
The dance was not good
And leave early
I remember
I remember
I remember
It happened always and everywhere
We didn't count the individual faces
The feathers and furs and the grease would look fresh
Never dusty and dull
The dancers grey
I remember
Somewhere in the city
He would dance around
He'd be walking by right around the corner
He would move around
There was no turning back
There was no way escaping
From the big blue sky
He had eyes like a fire
And light in his eyes
You could see him falling on the ground
He would fall in love mmm
He would fall in love oh yeah
He would fall in love yeah
He would fall in love mmm
He would fall in love yeah oh
He would fall in love yeah
I remember sometimes the dance
Would end up in confusion
Spectators would leave quickly
But that was Ok
Because the Gods would always help again
Gods do get upset sometimes
I remember
Sometimes in a big city a sole figure
Would come out of a door
And stalk the streets
He didn't want no trouble
He was waiting
For the girls to start their dances
And their dresses of many shapes and colours
He would hide behind corners
People would say
He's walking again
I remember
I remember
And the princess of actors
Would sit in her castle and spin stories
Sometimes she would cut her fingers
And then the blood would stain the part of her dress
Where it was most thin
It would sink through to her skin
These were the days of sleepless nights
I remember
Sometimes now when I sit alone I remember
I don't want no change
So I paint my face again and sit there just like before
And remember
And remember
Now we wait for changes in the weather
And we sit around
And your head is covered by a pillar
And we wait around
And there's no turning back
And there's no way escaping
From the big blue sky
There's a hole in the heaven
And it is decided that were leaving this town yeah
Can we fall in love yeah
We will fall in love oh yeah
We will fall in love oh yeah
We will fall in love oh
I remember
When we just used to sit
And wait for the good weather to come in
We didn't want any change
Your eyes were all the more glowing
From all the darkness around you
I loved you
Simple
Simple
When life in town became too hard
We would try and change places
We'd move downtown and again uptown
And the sun would rise and the sun would go down
And the men in suits would talk about pink ladies in their laces
Life would go on and life would go on
People decided that it was time to leave the city to the pale tribe
And do our own thing
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
