Bliss
A.P.C Lyrics

Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
I'm set adrift on memory bliss of you

The camera pans the cocktail glass
Behind a blind of plastic plants
I found the lady with the fat diamond ring
Then you know I can't remember a damn thing
I think it's one of those déjà vu things
Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me something
Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it?
I don't know, I doubt it
Subterranean by design
I wonder what I would find if I met you
Let my eyes caress you
Until I meet the thought of Mrs. Princess Who?
Often wonder what makes her work
I guess I'll leave that question to the experts
Assuming that there are some out there
They're probably alone, solitaire
I can remember when
I caught up with a past time intimate friend
She said, "Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely
But you probably don't think nothin' of me"
She was right, though, I can't lie
She's just one of those corners in my mind
And I just put her right back with the rest
That's the way it goes, I guess

Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Careless whisper from a careless man
A neutron dance for a neutron fan
Marionette strings are dangerous things
I thought of all the trouble they bring
An eye for an eye, a spy for a spy
Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh
Tell me that she's not dreaming
She's got an ace in the hole
It doesn't have meaning
Reality used to be a friend of mine
'Cause complete control, I don't take too kind
Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on
Guess who's piece of the cake with Jack gone?
She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign
I told her whispers in my heart were fine
What did she think she could do?
I feel for her, I really do
And I stared at the ring finger on her hand
I wanted her to be a big P.M. Dawn fan
But I had to put her right back with the rest
That's the way it goes, I guess

Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby, you send me
Baby, you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)
Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)
Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)




Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)
Baby, you send me (baby, you send me)

Line by Line Meaning

Set adrift on memory bliss of you
I am lost in blissful memories of you


Baby, you send me
You have a strong emotional effect on me


The camera pans the cocktail glass Behind a blind of plastic plants I found the lady with the fat diamond ring Then you know I can't remember a damn thing
I remember being in a bar, but everything else is vague and hazy


I think it's one of those déjà vu things Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me something Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it? I don't know, I doubt it
I can't explain this feeling, but it's intense and persistent


Subterranean by design I wonder what I would find if I met you Let my eyes caress you Until I meet the thought of Mrs. Princess Who?
I am curious about you, but I don't know what to expect


Often wonder what makes her work I guess I'll leave that question to the experts Assuming that there are some out there They're probably alone, solitaire
I ponder the mysteries of the universe, but I doubt anyone truly understands them


I can remember when I caught up with a past time intimate friend She said, "Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely But you probably don't think nothin' of me"
I recall seeing an old flame, but there is no real connection between us anymore


She was right, though, I can't lie She's just one of those corners in my mind And I just put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess
She was correct in assuming we don't have any significant feelings for each other, just a fleeting memory


Careless whisper from a careless man A neutron dance for a neutron fan Marionette strings are dangerous things I thought of all the trouble they bring
The thought of hurtful intentions by a thoughtless person and the risks posed by being controlled by someone else weigh on my mind


An eye for an eye, a spy for a spy Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh Tell me that she's not dreaming She's got an ace in the hole
Reciprocity and deception are frustrating, yet I have faith in her hidden potential


It doesn't have meaning Reality used to be a friend of mine 'Cause complete control, I don't take too kind
Meaning is elusive and reality is no longer familiar, as I don't respond well to being controlled


Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on Guess who's piece of the cake with Jack gone? She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign I told her whispers in my heart were fine
I am interested in being with Christina Applegate and I know I have a chance since Jack is out of the picture; she is hoping for a sign of something good and I offer the reassurance of my feelings for her


What did she think she could do? I feel for her, I really do And I stared at the ring finger on her hand I wanted her to be a big P.M. Dawn fan
I sympathize with her struggles, but our connection is still not strong enough for me to be certain of her devotion


But I had to put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess
Our interaction is over and I am uncertain of what the future holds with her or anyone else


Baby, you send me (baby, you send me) Set adrift on memory bliss of you
You have an undeniable impact on my emotions and thoughts, and I am lost in memories of our time together


Baby, you send me (baby, you send me) Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Your emotional hold on me persists, and my mind wanders in ecstasy over our shared memories
