Tranqulize

Time it tells living in my hometown
Wedding bells they began easy
Live it down, baby, don't talk that much
Baby knows that baby don't tease me
In the park we could go walking
Drown in the dark 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 think that she needs me

I was just sippin' 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 travelman
But tonight this engine's failing
And I still hear the children playing

Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring around rosie
Rock and roll, candyland, boogieman
Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain when Abel looked up at Cain
We began weeping and wailing
A hurry 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 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 travelman
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
Are tranquilized
