DC Sound Collective "A Memory of Errors" lyrics



Anything You Want (Crommie)

You can have
Anything you want
Don’t let them
Say you can’t
Pile it high
Take another bite
Eat your fill
Go for the kill
Each shiny color
And deluxe model
Is yours for the taking
Grab it now!

This is your big chance
This is your big chance
This is your big chance
This is your big chance

Money changes hands
At face value
Poetry you read
Between the lines
Everybody says
What everybody says
Everybody says
Somebody else
Said before

Drifting Away (Crommie)
Once our hearts were strong
That was yesterday
One thing is sure
We’re drifting away
Springtime promises
Gifts of lilac sprays
Midsummer rendezvous
In wintery decay

What went wrong?
No harmony in our song

Two souls spinning in
The spider web of fate
Sleepless dreaming
Just drifting away
We came into the circle
Full of youth & zeal
Now scattered like seeds
In long-fallow fields

We live for hope
Yet cruel fate has spoke

In poetic desperation
We arrive at this place
Where did the magic hide
Has it drifted away?
Since the chapter hasn’t closed
There must be more to say
Sadly, the words keep
Drifting away

The Laughing Man (Crommie)
Here comes the laughing man
Strolling down the street
Shaking his head
From side to side
And shuffling his feet
The laughing man

Laughing man isn’t happy
Laughing man isn’t sad
Laughing man might not know
What rolls inside his head
That’s what he said

Molecular (Crommie)
This love molecular
A love supreme
So spectacular
Is this a dream?

Your heart is beating fast
Your face afire
Trembling fingers touch
The flesh of my desire
There is no beginning
There is no end
The message we receive
Our spirits send

Your heart is beating fast
Your face afire
Trembling fingers touch
The flesh of my desire

This love molecular
This love supreme
So spectacular
Is this a dream?


In Lucid Moments (Hardenbrook)
In Lucid Moments, I recall the dream.
It was everything.
It was real to me
like everything
that you did.

In Lucid Moments, when I have that dream
and you are here with me.

I see another way.
Another way, to live.

In Lucid Moments, Far from here.
Asleep and dreaming, in the atmosphere

It was real to me
like everything
that you did.

In Lucid Moments, when I have that dream
and you are here with me.


Little Gods (Crommie)
Look around
Little gods everywhere
God of flame, god of sea
God of bird, god of bear
God of mirth, god of war

Ursa major, ursa minor
Kneel & pray, kneel & pray

You may have one big god
Mine are manyfold
Goddesses inside of you
A little god inside of me
Gods to keep you warm
Gods to keep you cold
Miniature, caricature
In its image each our own

Shiva shiva kundalini
Garden gnome, garden gnome



Paper Trail (Crommie)
Winter dropped the iron curtain
Sun disappeared in a ball of flames

Caught in the graceless descent
A memory of errors, the ship has sailed

We left a paper trail, a paper trail

No time for regrets, we’ve had our time
I swear we’ll find our way home

A Mind Full of Mirrors (Crommie)
People say I possess
A mind full of mirrors
But the truth of the matter
Mine’s a comedy of errors

Could be Lex Luther
Might be Superman
Could be chopping down a mountain
Or just digging myself a hole

People say I might be the man
The man who knew too much
When I enter fantasy land
I say I have the midas touch
