Clean Lyrics
Clean - to walk the earth unblemished
To stand before God and wear white
Dreams - unreachable and bitter
The fantasies of normal life
I once embraced dissolve and seem so
Far away
Far away
Don't touch me, I'm unclean...
Bleed and wash me in your fountain
The leopard never licks away his spots
Scream for anyone who knows the way
To get back to a place that's sane
It seems so out of focus and so
Far away
Far away
Don't touch me, I'm unclean...
I used to say the words each day
To keep the demons on the outside
But now my mind is a four-lane freeway
And it's rush hour all the time
Morning comes like my worst enemy
Unexpected, dressed to kill
Sunshine holds me down upon the ground
And strips me of my will
Birdsong becomes a nightmare orchestra
Announcing all my sins
Freight trains and submarines push through my brain
And blood until it thins
Don't touch me, I'm unclean...
And it all seems worth it
When I'm underneath the fog and lights
And appetites of everyone
Who's just like me, unable to be clean

The fantasies of normal life
I once embraced dissolve and seem so
Bleed and wash me in your fountain
The leopard never licks away his spots
Scream for anyone who knows the way
To get back to a place that's sane
It seems so out of focus and so
Far away
Far away
Don't touch me, I'm unclean...
