Regina Spektor Ezra Pound Lyrics

If you're never sorry, then you cant be forgiven, if you're not forgiven, then you cant be forgotten.

If you can't be forgotten, then you can live forever, if you live forever, then you'll begin to dream.

Of death, death, death.

Ezra Pound sat uppon my bed, asked me which books of late i've read. Ezra Pound sat upon my bed, asked me which books of late i've read, asked me if i've read his own, and whether i could spare a pound, of flesh to cover is bare bones, i ses' "man, take a pound, take two," "what's a pound of flesh between friends like me and you?"

What's a pound of flesh among friends? (x2)

But if you're never sorry, if you're never sorry, If you're never sorry, then you can't be forgiven, and if you're not forgiven, then you can't be forgotten.
if you're not forgotten, then you must live forever, if you live forever, you cannot be reborn.

if you're not reborn, then you can't be a baby, if you're not a baby, you can't learn how to crawl.

if you cannot crawl away, then you must stay in bed all day, if you satay in bed all day, you're sure to have some visitors.

Ezra pound will sit uppon your bed, ask you which books of late you've read, ask you if you've read his own, and whether you could spare a pound of flesh, to cover his bare bones, you'll say "man, take a pound, take two," "what's a pound of flesh between friends like me and you?"

What's a pound of flesh among friends? (x3)
