Lyrics to Clean
I want your money, your time
I want your patience and your pride
I’m a restless innovator
And I’m working over time
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
Thе rushing
And reeling
And she’ll be perfеct and so clean
Reveling
In this filth
This stain
Reveling
In this filth
Circle the drain
Circling, circling
Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again
Cold
A constant, steady breath
Clean, ‘til there’s nothing left
In sorrow
And shame
I whisper out a name
This anger makes its 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, in this filth
Circle the drain
Circling, circling
Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again
We’ll never be clean again
I want your patience and your pride
I’m a restless innovator
And I’m working over time
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
Thе rushing
And reeling
And she’ll be perfеct and so clean
Reveling
In this filth
This stain
Reveling
In this filth
Circle the drain
Circling, circling
Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again
Cold
A constant, steady breath
Clean, ‘til there’s nothing left
In sorrow
And shame
I whisper out a name
This anger makes its 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, in this filth
Circle the drain
Circling, circling
Heaven help
Clean this mess
Heaven help
We’ll never be clean again
We’ll never be clean again
