names and dates and times (click here for an mp3 of this version)
i know so many white people
i mean, where do i start?
the trouble with white people
is you just can't tell them apart
i'm so bad with names and dates and times
but i'm big on faces
that is, except for mine
and i believe you when you tell me
that we've met before
this time you got my attention
yeah this time you got the floor
go ahead tell me something
i don't already know
give me something to remember you by
when i go
i laugh too loud
yeah i talk too long
yeah i bet you'll be strangely relieved
when i'm gone
yeah i talk too loud
yeah i laugh too long
and i bet you'll be strangely relieved
when i'm gone
let's go over to the window
and sit in the neon light
let's go out walking
you know, it's garbage night
let's go down to the east river
and throw something in
something we can't live without
and then let's start again
yeah the more you talk
oh the more i get
the sense of something
that hasn't happened yet
oh the more you talk
the more i want to know
the way i'll remember you
when i go
yeah i talk too loud
yeah i laugh too long
and you can catch up on your sleep
when i'm gone
yeah i laugh too loud
yeah i talk too long
and you can catch up on your sleep
when i'm gone
i am so many white people
i mean, where do i start?
i got lots of personalities
i just can't tell them apart
and i never remember anything
except for those things
that i never forget
there's less and less in between
there's less and less in between
i'm big on your face
yeah it's big in my mind
i remember so clearly
that place, that time
yeah i talk too loud
yeah i laugh too long
and you can catch up on your sleep
when i'm gone
yeah i talk too loud
yeah i laugh too long
and this is how i miss you
when i'm gone
