Can't Get Clean - Night Birds

I can’t get clean

I can’t get clean

And I can’t clear my mind of the things that I’ve seen

I wash all day and scrub all night

But the filth all over me will never leave my sight

Scalding water so pressurized

But the memories still flash before my eyes

Turpentine, Alcohol, and Lye

And those scars and sores will never ever die

I can’t get clean

I can’t get clean

And I can’t clear my mind of the things that I’ve seen

I wash all day and scrub all night

But the filth all over me will never leave my sight

And I don’t want to remember

All the things they they did

And I can’t take living under this tainted skin

I can’t get clean

I can’t get clean

And I can’t clear my mind of the things that I’ve seen

I wash all day and scrub all night

But the filth all over me will never leave my sight
