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"
