By Megan Hauser – sometime in the 90s

Walking down this memory street
I know each house and hedge, my feet
Know every step. Keep up the beat to
Everybody’s favorite song today.
(Oooh favorite song today.)

Go to all the same old places.
Run into familiar faces.
Good thing I hid all those aces
Up my sleeve before I went my way.
(Yeah, before I went my way.)

CHORUS:
Smiling through the fog that fills my head.
Trying to remember all I said.
Don’t you know integrity is dead.
We’ve been misled.

Crooning every worn out word.
I’m whistling like a singing bird.
Beneath the skin this feels absurd.
But I cannot remember how to leave.
(Oooh remember how to leave.)

Soft-shoe through the open door
Towards a painted ocean shore.
I’m tricked into a cage before
I realize it’s freedom that I need.
(Yeah, it’s freedom that I need.)

CHORUS:
Smiling through the fog that fills my head.
Trying to remember all I said.
Don’t you know integrity is dead.
We’ve been misled.

BRIDGE:
Colored, glossy pages of each magazine
Try to tell me I need everything I’ve seen.
Buy, and everyday we’ll play it’s Halloween.
Soon forgetting what I mean.

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS:
Smiling through the fog that fills my head.
Trying to remember all I said.
Don’t you know integrity is dead.
We’ve been misled.
