Lyrics


1. CLEAN TOWN

You wanna worship its feelings
The ones who's squeezing the shame from every man
And if mama says it's dinner time,
If she ruins your love, run away
So you live in a prison
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]
Clean town if you want to get away
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Mama's alright she said she didn't want your love
Clean town if you want to get away,
You pack your cases and you hope for a better day
Joni's alright she said she didn't want your love

Won't you walk down the main street
Take the bridge over never ending rails
And even if you're falling down
That's an open door to the outside world
So you live in a bubble
So you're wasting your life
On a system you never will understand
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

You can drive to the east cost
Disappear for a while
Put the band-echo on, then we'll give him a ride
Are you the one I dreamed of. Man!

[Chorus]

Won't you get away...


2. GOD KNOWS

Well I turned left just like you told me to
I get excited by the moves you do
I'm on a mission and I'm gonna get away
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out
Brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out

Well I turned the page from number three to four
You had nothing on you by my bedroom door
You had your mission now I'm gonna get away
When this is over and our souls are saved
When I am buried when I've got my own cave
I've done my mission so I won't be here today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
Brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me out
Oh brother can you help me OUT

I turned right just like I thought you would
I got excited like you said I would
I'm on a mission and I'm getting blown AWAY
Well I saw her standing all colored in red
I felt the blues just by the things she said
I want my mission so I can escape today

God knows - I ain't sleeping but I want my line
God knows - I ain't happy so I want it bad tonight
Oh brother can you help me out
God knows - I've got nothing so accept my time
God knows - it ain't easy to behave in this spotlight
Oh brother can you help me out...
All right


3. DOWN IN THE PAST

Well I don't wanna hang around with you
I've got my motor baby and I'm gonna see you through
You think I wanna be alone with you
It doesn't matter baby cause you're overreacted too
But since you're down there, where will I just be
I'm getting fine girl, dressing up for stormy weather

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

Well I don't wanna slide away with you
I've got ten little soldiers pointing at you
Honey you just left me for a new one
It doesn't matter baby cause your hair is ugly too
But since you're down there, where will I just be
I'm getting fine girl, dressing up for stormy weather

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

Well I don't wanna hang around with you
I've got my motor baby and I'm gonna see you through
You think I wanna be alone with you
It doesn't matter baby cause you're overreacted too

So touch me down in the past where my mother will last
And it's true that I'm in for a punch and a blast
Yeah down in the past where my mother will last
And she will make sure that you remember

That you remember...(x2)

Come on... (x5)


4. YOU CAN'T STEAL MY LOVE

I was walking down the street
With my chains chains chains
Tied up to my feet
I leaned instead of jiggie
With the sidewalk
Now this street tells the same old boring tale
That has failed in so many ways of life
To trust its stories
You've got to be dull as them

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

I met her in a crowded room
Where the bookshelves help you and knowledge takes your hand
I watched her beauty from an armchair
I said "Hey girl have you seen that film
With those kids in New York in the eighties
Oh, you have - Well, can I watch it with you anyway"

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah!!!

Congratulation Mr. Major
You savior,
Betrayer,
You stinking master of trusts
How does it feel to ride all those horses
You cannot touch our hearts
When we're in bloom
I assume that we'll win over the heads again
We conceal non,
You'll feel none,
That's what I promise

And all the love we've got in store,
You can't kill You peasants!
We won it all
And the love I have for her
You cannot touch,
My golden hand,
'Cause it's guarded by your filthy promises

And all the love i've got in here
You've just killed you peasants
Didn't even care
The love I had in store you raped for more
And all the dreams I had in here
You've just stolen
You peasants didn't even care
But the dreams I had for her you cannot touch,
My golden hand
'Cause it's guarded by your promises
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me
Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me

Honey I love you, like the summer falls
And the winter crawls you're above and beyond me
