From the Musical: "C'est la Guerre!"
lyrics
Peter
YOU'RE FLASHIN' BACK
AND PULLING PEOPLE OUT OF NOWHERE,
FOREVER ASKING THE DATE.
YOU'VE GOT ME CHASIN' AFTER
PIECES OF YOU'RE MEMORY,
IT'S SUCH AN ARDUOUS STATE.
I USED TO WRESTLE WITH THE FACT
THAT IT WAS FICTION,
I TRIED TO KEEP YOU WITH ME,
NOW I'VE SURRENDERED
TO CONVENTIONAL CONVICTION,
SOMEHOW I HAVE TO AGREE.
YOU'RE IN A MOVIE
STARRING EVERY SINGLE IDOL,
YOU'VE HAD SINCE YOU WERE A CHILD.
YOU SAY YOUR NAME APPEARS
IN GOLD ABOVE THE TITLE,
I SAY THE CRITICS GO WILD!
YOUR MOTHER ENTERS AND YOU
CALMLY ASK "WHO IS IT?"
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME,
AND THEN YOU TELL ME
BETTY RUBBLE CAME TO VISIT,
IMAGINATION HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
DEMENTIA...
WHATEVER YOU SAY IS TRUE
DEMENTIA...
I'LL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU
DEMENTIA...
NO MATTER WHAT IT MAY DO
DEMENTIA...
WHEREVER YOU TAKE ME,
I'LL GO THERE WITH YOU
YOU'RE DOING PUZZLES
IN SOME AVOCADO KITCHEN,
SOMETIME IN SEVENTY-FOUR.
AND THEN YOU TELL ME
IT'S ALL PART OF THIS CONDITION,
THAT KEEPS YOU BACK IN BEFORE.
SOMETIMES YOUR RECALL
HAS ME DOUBT THAT YOU ARE SLIPPIN',
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SPEECH.
THE TV'S GOING AND THE
CHANNELS KEEP ON FLIPPIN',
BUT THE REMOTE'S OUT OF REACH.
I SEE YOU MASTERING THESE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS,
WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR BRAIN?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MANUFACTURE
THESE DELUSIONS?
DOES IT TAKE YOUR MIND OFF THE PAIN?
DEMENTIA...
DEMENTIA...
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT IT'S A
SIN FOR ME TO SIT HERE
AND CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE YOUR LINE.
I SAY AS LONG AS ALL YOUR
MEMORIES ARE HAPPY,
THAT'S AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.
I'LL NEVER COMPREHEND
THE THINGS THAT YOU’RE PERCEIVING,
I'VE TRIED TO DAY AFTER DAY,
BUT JUST AS I AM HERE TO HELP
FACILITATE YOUR LEAVING,
SOMETHING ELSE IS HELPING
TO TAKE YOU AWAY.
DEMENTIA...
WHATEVER YOU SAY IS TRUE
DEMENTIA...
I'LL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU
DEMENTIA...
NO MATTER WHAT IT MAY DO
DEMENTIA…
WHERE EVER YOU TAKE ME
I'LL GO THERE WITH YOU.

As you might guess from the title, this is strange and eerie synth music meant to conjure a mystical film where all is not what it seems. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 14, 2023
