Lisa Lyrics

verse 1:
Man you had me fooled
What I thought was sweet,
was sorrow now
You can see
all them words
those thoughts that you'd be
but I'm

chorus:
What you have

and you won't change me
'cause I'd never go

verse 2:
Chocolate covered sheets
moments thought without
red meat I

well now
I know I can't be saved by all

chorus:
You and I
won't have to go
and all my dreams
are a part of you now
they're a part of you now

(end chorus)
Please, won't you go
and set me down
I'm not sure
what goes 'round
what goes 'round
Yeah!

There is not one official post about it from AHJ, and it's really hard to get exactly what Albert sings. It's kinda like Julian singing, where sometimes it gets hard to understand by ear. Now, I wonder, if we put these lyrics together as a prose, whould it be correct gramatically speaking? "I know I can't be saved by all." wouldn't it be saved at all? "won't you go and set me down" what's set me down? "moments...

Of course it's about a relationship -- he wrote it about ex-girlfriend Lisa Sieffert judging by the title and the fact they broke up right around the time of this album.
