Clean'd Me Out - Silkworm

The best parade is a house on fire

Nothing left but black and grey

Guitars and books and wood and wire

Plunged into a sooty grave

I didn’t care

It cleaned me out

Three a.m. a cresting freeway

See the city from above

The arms of a familiar lover

Diamonds cover night’s pure glove

Sleep beside my better half

Stand to greet another day

Shower’s hot

I’ve been working a hell of a lot

But I don’t mind

In fact I find

It cleans me out
