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
