lyrics

V E R S E 1
We are like water
Our sounds, our scales, our DNA
We flow and seep and spill
And make our way
We pour across the globe
Change a little every day
Until our descendants
Can’t understand a thing we say

C H O R U S 1
How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long

How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long

V E R S E 2
We’re like a folksong
A shout some forebear did declaim
He opened up his mouth
And out it came
To great, great grandma’s ear
She changed the words, the tune, the name
Our ancestors’ humming
Has stayed but never stayed the same

C H O R U S 2
How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long

How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long

I N S T R U M E N T A L

B R I D G E
It’s catchy, like a cold
Like a virus ever changing shape
Never growing old
We must repeat, we clone, we ape,
We must repeat, we clone, we ape

V A R I A T I O N 1
How soon we forget
How long we remember
Member, member
Member, member

How soon we forget
How long, how long
Long, how long
Long, how long

How soon we forget
How long, how long
How long
How long, how long
How long

V A R I A T I O N 2
How soon you forget
How long you remember
How soon you forget, so long

V A R I A T I O N 3
How soon you regret
How long you remember
You never forget
So long, so long


V A R I A T I O N 4
And soon you’ll regret
What long we remembered
But do you forget
Our song?

V A R I A T I O N 5
What do you remember?
What do you recall?

V A R I A T I O N 6
What do you know?
You remember?
Do you recall
At all?

V A R I A T I O N 7
What do you remember?
What do you recall?
What do you remember?
Not a thing at all

I N S T R U M E N T A L

V A R I A T I O N 8
Any trace at all
(Any trace at all)
You will be remembered
(You will be remembered)

I N S T R U M E N T A L

C H O R U S 3
How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long

How soon we forget
How long we remember
How soon we forget
How long, how long
How long, how long
