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
