Pleasant Street

You don't remember what to say You don't remember what to do You don't remember where you've been And you don't remember who to choose You wheel And you steal But you feel When you kneel down Down... down... down Down... down... down All the stony people Walking 'round in christian licorice clothes Lord, I can't hesitate I know I can't wait For Pleasant Street For Pleasant Street The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies You thought you were flying But you opened your eyes And you found yourself falling Back down to yesterday's lies Hello, Pleasant Street You know she's back again You wheel You steal You feel You kneel down Down... down... down Down... down... down All the stony people Walking 'round in christian licorice clothes Lord, I can't hesitate I know I can't wait For Pleasant Street My little Pleasant Street At twilight, your lover comes to your room He's gonna spin you, darling He's gonna weave you 'round All around his emerald loom Oh, but softly he'll whisper All around your ear "Sweet lover Lord, I love my Pleasant Street Lord, I wheel And Lord, I steal Lord, I feel my way down to kneel"
