Clean

I want your money, your time
I want your patience and your pride
I’m a restless innovator
And I’m working overtime

So heaven help me
(Heaven help me)
And the dollar defend me
(Dollar defend me)

There is nothing you can sell me
That I ain’t got now
I can still do the work
But it gets harder, I can tell ‘ya

It ain’t perfect but it’s what we got
Is it enough for you?
Now I live among this filth
And I’m richer for it still

The rushing
And reeling
But now she’s coming home to me
The rushing
And reeling
And she’ll be perfect and so clean

Reveling
In this filth
This stain

Reveling
In this filth
Circle the drain
Circling

Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again

Cold
A constant, steady breath
Clean, ‘till there’s nothing left
In sorrow
And shame

I whisper out a name
This anger makes it’s claim
We’ll never be clean again

Yeah, we’ll never be clean
Yeah, we’ll never be clean again

The rushing
And reeling
She can’t believe this feeling
We’re weightless
And tasteless
This God’s not what she made us

But now she’s coming home to me
And she’ll be perfect and so clean

Reveling
In this filth
This stain

Reveling
In this filth
Circle the drain
Circling

Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again
