Ever Present Memory

(Girl Version Power Song for a Power Girl)

I met him in the recovery room

I made him feel like smiling soon

After work I’ll come on by

Check you out make sure your fine

The next day he was in a haze

Hungover from the sublimaze

He had a beer and called this nurse

Chasing women was his tragic curse

Chasing women was his tragic curse

I raked my nails across his chest

It’s when he knew I was the best

I’m not faded history

I’m an ever present memory

I’m an ever present memory

Monday came and he caught a plane

I made his mind work like a train

Revving engines and hauling cars

Could this nurse really be from Mars

When he landed he made the call

Let’s drink a beer and have a ball

He’ll be back in a few more days

I blow his mind like purple haze

I blow his mind like purple haze

I raked my nails across his chest

It’s when he knew I was the best

I’m not faded history

I’m an ever present memory

I’m an ever present memory

Another airport like a Thunderdome

I picked him up and took him home

Tomorrow’s a party what should I say

We’ll sip champagne and play croquet

Life’s a game with a sticky wicket

Gonna punch this cowboy’s ticket

To tell the truth I don’t need to lie

He won’t want an alibi

He won’t want an alibi

I clawed my nails into his chest

It’s when he knew I was the best

I’m not faded history

I’m an ever present memory

I’m an ever present memory
