Clean by The Dowling Poole Lyrics
Clean – She sliced into the seam - The undisputed queen
The ghost in my machine
Black – A surgical attack - She always had the knack
She threw my pieces back
You have to choose to overcome
And when the moments been and gone you let it go
You’ve got it all to do
And if it’s only in your mind
Maybe I’m cruel just to be kind
When it’s over – Make it clean
There is no remedy – To end this misery
You have to keep it clean
You push to keep it breathing - The consequence of dreaming
Keep this clean
Accused – I watched her every move - The judge did not approve
He told me I’m confused
The facts – She stopped me in my tracks - And told me to relax
Then knifed me in my back
There is no gesture you could make
There is no perfect thing to say that's going to change the way this must play out
And if it’s hard to comprehend, well every story has to end
When it’s over – Keep it clean
There is no remedy - To end this misery
You have to keep it clean
The consequence of dreaming, you push to keep it breathing
Keep this clean
Rage arrives then dissipates
Blurs the edge between love and hatred when it’s colder than before
I don’t believe you know - I don’t believe that you know
So keep it clean
The cry becomes a scream - Goodbye to self esteem
You should have kept this clean
When love becomes obsession - And all about possession
You've got to make it clean
You push to keep it breathing - The consequence of dreaming
We’ve got to make it clean
Na na – na na na na na na etc
The ghost in my machine
Black – A surgical attack - She always had the knack
She threw my pieces back
You have to choose to overcome
And when the moments been and gone you let it go
You’ve got it all to do
And if it’s only in your mind
Maybe I’m cruel just to be kind
When it’s over – Make it clean
There is no remedy – To end this misery
You have to keep it clean
You push to keep it breathing - The consequence of dreaming
Keep this clean
Accused – I watched her every move - The judge did not approve
He told me I’m confused
The facts – She stopped me in my tracks - And told me to relax
Then knifed me in my back
There is no gesture you could make
There is no perfect thing to say that's going to change the way this must play out
And if it’s hard to comprehend, well every story has to end
When it’s over – Keep it clean
There is no remedy - To end this misery
You have to keep it clean
The consequence of dreaming, you push to keep it breathing
Keep this clean
Rage arrives then dissipates
Blurs the edge between love and hatred when it’s colder than before
I don’t believe you know - I don’t believe that you know
So keep it clean
The cry becomes a scream - Goodbye to self esteem
You should have kept this clean
When love becomes obsession - And all about possession
You've got to make it clean
You push to keep it breathing - The consequence of dreaming
We’ve got to make it clean
Na na – na na na na na na etc
