Tranquilize

Time it tells, living in my hometown Wedding bells, they begin easy Live it down, baby don't talk that much Baby knows but baby don't tease me In the park, we could go walking Drown in the dark, but we could go sailing on the sea Always here, always on time Close call, was it love or was it just easy? Money talks when people need shoes and socks Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me I was just sipping on something sweet I don't need political process I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more See, I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been getting to me all this time And they don't stop dragging me down Silently, reflection turns my world to stone Patiently, correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man but tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Kick the can, kick the can Skip and black jack, steal a car and ring a round-Rosey Rock and roll, candyland Boogieman, run away and give me your sneakers Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain We began the weeping and wailing A hurried high from pestilence, pills and pride It's a shame, we could have gone sailing But Heaven knows, heaven knows everything Tranquilize I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more See, I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been getting to me all this time And it don't stop dragging me down Silently, reflection turns my world to stone Patiently, correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man But tonight, this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Dead beat dancers come to us and stay 'Cause I don't care where you've been And I don't care what you've seen We're the ones who still believe And we're looking for a page In that lifeless book of hope Where a dream might help you cope Where the bushes and the bombs Uh huh, tranquilize
