Set Adrift On Memory Bliss
P.M.Dawn Lyrics

Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Lost in the blissful memories of you

Baby, you send me
You have a powerful hold over me, like an addiction

The camera pans the cocktail glass
Observing the surroundings of the bar

Behind a blind of plastic plants
A fake facade hiding something beautiful

I found the lady with the fat diamond ring
Encountering a wealthy woman

Then you know I can't remember a damn thing
Failing to recall the details of the encounter

I think it's one of those de ja vu things
The situation feels familiar, but can't recall why

Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me something
Wondering if it's a message from the subconscious mind

Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it
Questioning if the encounter will fade from memory

I don't know, I doubt it
Admitting uncertainty about the future

Subterranean by design
A hidden, secretive nature of the self

I wonder what I would find if I met you
Curious about the inner workings of the person

Let my eyes caress you
Desiring to explore the person's soul

Until I meet the thought of Missess Princess Who?
Fantasizing about a mysterious person, like a princess

Often wonder what makes her work
Reflecting on what makes the person tick

I guess I'll leave that question to the experts
Acknowledging the complexity of the person

Assuming that there are some out there
Believing that there are those who can understand the person

They're probably alone, solitaire
Hypothesizing that the person is solitary in nature

I can remember when
Recalling a past experience

I caught up with a pastime intimate friend
Reconnecting with an old acquaintance

She said, "Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely
Anticipating a compliment from the artist

But you probably don't think nothin' of me"
Feeling insecure about the artist's opinion of her

She was right, though, I can't lie
Admitting that the singer doesn't hold the acquaintance in high regard

She's just one of those corners in my mind
A small thought in the back of the mind

So I just put her right back with the rest
Filing the memory away with other insignificant ones

That's the way it goes, I guess
Accepting that memories can fade into oblivion

Careless whisper from a careless man
An untrustworthy person speaking without thinking

A neutron dance for a neutron fan
An unremarkable dance for an indifferent person

Marionette strings are dangerous things
Losing control like a puppet on strings

I thought of all the trouble they bring
Considering the consequences of giving someone control

An eye for an eye, a spy for a spy
Tit-for-tat revenge or betrayal

Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh
Feeling tense and stretched to the limit

Tell me that she's not dreaming
Asking for reassurance about reality

She's got an ace in the hole
She has a secret up her sleeve

It doesn't have meaning
Life seems meaningless

Reality used to be a friend of mine
Feeling disconnected from reality

'Cause complete control, I don't take too kind
Resisting strict, oppressive control

Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on
Asking for a chance with a woman as beautiful as Christina Applegate

Guess who's piece of the cake is Jack gone?
Wondering who has taken Jack's share of the profits

She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign
Hoping for a good omen

I told her whispers in my heart were fine
Saying that personal feelings are valid and important

What did she think she could do?
Questioning the woman's goal or ambition

I feel for her, I really do
Having empathy for the woman's struggle

So I stared at the ring finger on her hand
Noticing the woman is married and off-limits

I wanted her to be a big PM Dawn fan
Wishing for mutual interests to build a connection

But I had to put her right back with the rest
Realizing the woman is not meant to be in his life

That's the way it goes, I guess
Accepting fate and the natural course of life
