Lyrics of “Come As You Are”

Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
As a friend, as a friend, as an old Enemy.
Take your time, hurry up, choice is yours, don’t be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memory.

Memory ah, Memory ah, Memory ah.

Come doused in Mud, cept in Bleach, as I want you to be.
As a trend, as a friend, as an old Memory ahhh.

Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh.

Chorus:
And I swear that I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun

–Instrumental–

Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh. (Don’t have a Gun.)

Chorus:
And I swear that I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
No, I don’t have a gun
(Memory ahh, Memory ahh)
