If you like my story
if you've played my game
will you recognise me,
call me by my name?
Don't let science blind you
take you for a fool
hope it all comes back to me
doing what comes naturally
It's not my fault
My faded memory
my faded memory lets me down
If I got caught
if I lost everything
my faded memory gets the blame  
It's not my fault
My faded memory
my faded memory lets me down
my faded memory lets me down
