Play me a sad song because
That's what I want to hear.
I want you to make me cry.
I want to remember the places that we left,
Lost to the mists of time.

I know that you'll go soon.
You'll find out so take me with you always.

On buses that move through the night
We sleep on and on.
We got off at Memphis, black-top heat will make us thirsty.
We'll never get sick anymore.

    General Comment:I love this song.
    This was the first song I heard from this trio that mad me looking for more. I must be twisted b/c this sad song makes me so happy. LOL

    To reflect on the good times when I am feeling blue.

    The video to this song is so aesthetically pretty, fresh, and so perfect without trying hard.

    General Comment:This song really freaks me out because this summer I met someone who was kind of especial to me but we both had to depart and actually he's named simone... every line really reminds me of him and what we did together... it's so weird!

    General Comment:I still don't know why they say "you'll find out". I think it's non-sense. Can anyone explain it to me? Anyway, I simply love this song!!!

    General Comment:hey zediax. when i hear "Memphis, blacktop heat," i think of humid summer days and the glare you can see on city streets or behind the exhaust pipes of big trucks. you're always thirsty on hot days like that.
