2022 Broadway A Strange Loop the Musical - Memory Song Lyrics
"Memory Song" is a song performed by Larry Owens from A Strange Loop the Musical.
USHER: Five foot four, high school gym Sneaking a cupcake These are my memories These are my memories
Shooting hoops off the rim Slow on the uptake These are my memories These are my memories
After gym, the locker room, my eyes photographing Naked me measures in a four and a half inches These are my memories These are my memories Of one lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord
Guilt and shame, Jesus's name Church every Sunday These are my memories These are my memories Eat His body, drink His blood Communion buffet These are my memories Sweet, sour memories
After church we're driving home to radio crackle Jazz, muzak or Motown blues and skin is a shackle For one lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord
These are my memories Sweet, sour memories This is my history This is my mystery
Mom is napping on the couch, and dad cuts the grass While I watch TV all day long, Young & the Restless Like one lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord
Dad is drunk and on the couch while mom eats a pork chop "Daily bread" mill, daily treadmill won't ever stop One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord One lone black gay boy I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord
I am lying on the couch, I dream that I'm flying Flapping both my wings so hard to keep me from dying With a crown of godforsaken thorns on my head Like all those black gay boys I knew who chose chose to go on back to the Lord And all those black gay boys I knew who chose chose to go on back to the Lord All those black gay boys I knew who chose chose to go on back to the Lord
I'm one of those black gay boys I knew who chose to turn his back on the Lord Instead
