Paroles de 'White Picket Fence' par Joe Purdy

Oh come quick
the doctor is sick
on elm street

the circus performers
they all try to warn us
of the blistering heat

there ain't no water
so what is the bother
with tryin' to drink

what's the new plan
when your medicine man
is gone too dead to think

i saw you lookin at
i saw you lookin at me

oh i saw saw you lookin at
i saw you lookin at me

and that white picket fence
that you had as a kid
it ain't white any more
and the wood is goin' thin

the streets are all empty
the stores have been pick cleaned
and the lights are all out

the doors are all closed
and the windows all broken
the buildings torn down

and the dogs of the night
well they've all lost their bite
and they're too tired to growl

we tried throwing stones
but you can't stop them bones
of that hovering crowd

i saw you cryin' out
i saw you cryin' at night

oh i saw you cryin' out
oh i saw you cryin' at night

and that white picket fence
that you used to have
it aint white anymore
and the paint is goin' bad

well drugs have worn off
and there's blood in your car
and your'e starting to turn

drinkers will rise
as we blankly stare
at the growing conscern

and the preacher still preaches
from outside the steeple
sayin' when will they learn

but the congregation's gone
they're on the church lawn
and they're watchin' it burn

and i saw you screamin' out
oh i saw you screamin' out

yea and i saw you scream' out
i saw you screamin' out

and that white picket fence
that you had when you where young
it ain't white anymore
and the damage has been done

and i'm too sick to scream
and the last of your dreams
they got taken last night

they're growin and pacin'
and all of the nations
are starting to fight

and mothers are cryin'
their children are dyin'
and you're losin' your sight

and it wont be long now
we'll all be gone
walkin' into the light

i saw you reachin' out
i saw you reachin' for me

yea oh i saw you reachin' out
oh i saw you reachin' for me

and that white picket fence
that you had as a kid
it ain't shinin' any more
and it never ever did

never did
no it never did
no never did
no never never did
no never did
