Текст песни You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory (Live) - Giant Sand

Where the hell is Johnny?
Good point
He's in London, he's busy
He's playing with the snakes
Put the tone into the high

Doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
Doesn't mean I didn't try
I never know why

I feel cold and all alone
I'm takin' home
Even when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

Feel so restless, I am
Knock my head against a pole
Knock some sense
Down into my bones
Even though they don't show
The scars aren't so old
Brother when they go
They let you know (they let you know)

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory (you can't put your arms around a memory)
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try (try)
Baby, don't try

Just a bastard kid
You got no name
Cause you're living with me
We're one and the same
And even though they don't show
The scars aren't so old
And when they do go
They let you know, okay

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory (you can't put your arms around a memory)
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try (try)
Don't try 'cause

You can't put your arms around a memory (you can't put your arms around a memory)
You can't put your arms around a memory (you can't put your arms around a memory)
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
