Someone Purer

[Verse 1]

I was gripped with a bit of fear

Worried the one thing that I loved

Back when I was just a kid

Might now never be enough

That the body I was in

Might belong to someone else

Someone kinder

Someone surer

Someone innocent

Young and beautiful

Someone purer

But that's no-one I know

[Verse 2]

I was scratching at my skin

Hopin changes would begin

But what laid beneath was blood

Well of course

What the hell was I thinking of

Won't you take me down to the creek

Wash away our sins of sleep

I feel so tired

As though I might

Not wake at all on the other side

That's no way to go

That's no way to go

That's no way to go

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh my dear one

Bathe me in your glow

Cut out my lonely heart

And bury it in the snow

Nothing really means nothing

Is the saddest thing I know

So deliver me from sin

And give me rock and roll

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Give me rock and roll

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

And in the morning there'll be hope

And in the morning there'll be light

And if I sleep and dream up a system

A solution

To fend off perils of the night

Come morning, I'll be born again

Born again as someone else

Someone kinder

Someone surer

Someone beautiful

Someone purer

And when I am you'll know

And when I am you'll know

And when I am you'll know

And when I am you'll know

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Almighty one

The devil knows my name

Will salvation come

And wash away my pain?

For I was once a kid

With a pure and innocent soul

So deliver me from sin

And give me rock and roll

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, woah-oh oh-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh

Give me rock and roll, give me rock and roll

And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul

Give me rock and roll,  give me rock and roll

And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul

And a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul

Soul, and a pure and innocent soul, and a pure and innocent soul

And a pure and innocent soul
