You can't put your arms around a memory

-lyrics by Johnny Thunders

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I just never know why 

Feel so cold and all alone
Cause baby, you're not at home
And when I'm gone
Big deal, I'm still alone 

Feel so restless as I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down in my bones

And even though I don't show
The scars are so old 

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory

Don't try, don't try 

You're just a bastard kid
And you got no name
Could you live with me
We're one and the same
And even though I don't show
The scars are so old

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory

Don't try, don't try 

Yeah your memory
I wanna put my arms around your memory
I can try, I can try
Don't try
Come on...

You may not be able to put your arms 
around a memory but you can put your
fist through a wall.  Yeah, it hurts.
I want to thank Mr. Bluesmith
for giving me props on his blog once
again.  Of course everyone reads his
blog so there's no need to really do
this except to say thanks...
