Lyrics
You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal
You kneel, you feel
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down
All the stoney people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate, no and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying
But you happened to open up your eyes
And you found yourself falling
Back to yesterday's lies
Hello Pleasant Street
Lord I'm back again
I wheel, I steal
I kneel, I feel
Down, down, down
All the stoney people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate, no and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
At twilight your lover
He comes to your room
He's gonna spin you, he's gonna weave you
All around his emerald loom
But softly you whisper
I'm all around your ear
Sweet lover, I love
I love Pleasant Street
You wheel, you steal
You kneel, you feel
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down
Feel down, feel down
Feel down, feel down, feel down
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out my life why don't you baby
You don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don't really want me
You just keep me hanging on
Why do you keep running around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me get a fresh start
Let me get over you
The way you're gonna get over me
Go ahead set me free now
Set me free, set me free
Oh boy let me free
I wanna breathe yeah
