Lyrics

Claudette

[Verse 1]

I, I wanted

To forgive you and forget

But now I, I'm haunted

By what replaces you instead

There's no, oh, no city whose end

Was so lamentable as Memphis

Today is not even a ruin

As I crack a smile

While you fade to death

Oh no, Claudette

[Break]

I couldn't help but crack a smile

[Verse 2]

The further that you get, my darling

I'm filled with regret, yeah

Tall figures encircle us

You're staggering in red

So cold and led astray

Betrayed by the Good Place

The God Crown in their

Outstretched hands

We're forced to walk away

Then the wolves descend

[Chorus x4]

Oh Claudette

I knew you'd lead me astray

No Claudette

I don't want you to stay

Go Claudette

And drift away from the light

No Claudette

I can't keep from smiling
