| She was no marine back from the Philippines
She was their pride and jobtheir incarnation.
Her parents viewed the chief
With shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation.
The Indianher back was poised for an attack.
She said 'a tattoo is a badge of validation'.
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing.
It's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesic episodes that never go away.
It's no complex mementoit's no subtle revealing.
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
Vegas in the raindrunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells
Painfully ringing.
Where's his limo ride? Who's this foreign bride?
Is this really Elvis spinning round the ceiling?
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love.
What is this ring on his finger? Why is he kneeling?
She's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
Chromosomes and genesspawn these fateful scenes.
Evolution can be meanthere's no 'dumb ass' vaccine.
Blame your DNAyou're a victim of your fate.
It's human nature to miscalculate.
To make up for the fight they go out for the night.
Sexdrugs and rock 'n' roll seems like the easiest answer.
But a short nine months laterthere's no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesic episodes that never go away.
Complex mementosnot subtle revealings.
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.
