Pleasant Street

Tim Buckley

You don't remember what to say

You don't remember what to do

You don't remember where to go

You don't remember what to choose

You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down



All the stony people

Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes

I can't hesitate

And I can't wait

For Pleasant Street



The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies

You thought you were flying but you opened your eyes

And you found yourself falling back to yesterday's lies

Hello, Pleasant Street, you know she's back again

You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down



All the stony people

Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes

I can't hesitate

And I can't wait

For Pleasant Street



At twilight your lover comes to your room

He'll spin you, he'll weave you 'round his emerald loom

And softly you'll whisper all around his ear

"Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street

I wheel, I steal, I feel my way down to kneel"



All the stony people

Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes

I can't hesitate

And I can't wait

For Pleasant Street



You don't remember what to say

You don't remember what to do

You don't remember which way to go

You don't remember who to choose

You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
