Awakened from our beds
The roll call must commence
And memories of a long forgotten song
Remain there, and they stay there

It's a race we must run to the place where the drums
Never fade, seek a soul and live

(Chorus)

Sinking or swimming, swimming in women
You've got to learn to take the knocks
Winners and losers, passion abusers
They masquerade as one of us
Sinking or swimming, swimming in women
Breaking like waves against the rocks
One million voices, too many choices,
You've got to line them up against the wall

With colors so intense
She burns the evidence
And memories of a long forgotten song
Are eroded
