The devil's screenplay, burnin' pages
Who cares what she say, whiskey is wages
Empty souls trod empty stages
Of purple hearts and broken faces

Pretend you remember me
Pretend you remember me

A ransom note found in the shelter
She slips her bonds in the favela
Headed north, no one could tell her
Her life meant nothing at all
Ha

Pretend you remember me
Pretend you remember me
Pretend you remember me
Oh
Ooh

A crestin' wave of doubts and fears
Reaches the shore of a million tears
And in my dreams of you, my dear

I pretend you remember me
I pretend you remember me
I pretend you remember me
Oh
