Forgetting you is harder than finding the sun at night
Than understanding politicians or buying the Eiffel Tower
Harder than smoking a cigar on American Airlines
Harder than a withered plastic flower
Forgetting you is harder than a skinny woman in a Botero painting
Than finding a green cat, or a flavorless Cuban
Harder than Lady Di at the metro station
Forgetting you is so hard to forget

Forgetting you, forgetting you
Is like trying to pull the hair of a bottle
It's believing that memory is a cassette to erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It's even harder than enduring you
If I miss your neurosis and your baseless jealousy
How can I not miss your body on my mattress

Forgetting you is an attempt that I don't desire so much
Because the more I try not to remember, the more I remember
And I've come to suspect that my eagerness to forget
Is what makes me sick with memories
Forgetting you is what I hope for to resume my life
Tired of continuing to dream about the possibility
That one day by mistake, or out of pure curiosity
You ask a friend about my bones

Forgetting you, forgetting you
Is like trying to pull the hair of a bottle
It's believing that memory is a cassette to erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It's even harder than enduring you
If I miss your neurosis and your baseless jealousy
How can I not miss your body on my mattress

It's like trying to pull the hair of a bottle
It's believing that memory is a cassette to erase
Forgetting you is remembering that it's impossible
Forgetting you, forgetting you
It's even harder than enduring you
If I miss your neurosis and your baseless jealousy
How can I not miss your body on my mattress
