Wash Me Clean

 

Wash Me Clean

Written By Scott Wainwright

All the grit and all the grime

All the wasted time

I want to wake from this dream

Lord, I want to get clean

All the fear and the dread

All the worries in my head

I want to get out of this crazy scene

Lord, I want to get clean

(chorus)

I don't want to pour water on the fire

Be a killing gun for hire

Be a barb in the wire

Sing in the church choir

I just want to get clean

I don't want to be a thief in the night

Pretend I know wrong from right

Be in a fist fight

Do things you do not like

Lord, I just want to get clean

All the sin and the shame

All the constant passing blame

I want to say what I really mean

Lord, I just want to get clean

All the hurt and the pain

All the standing in the rain

I want to forget where I have been

Lord, I just want to get clean

(chorus)

I don't want to pour water on the fire

Be a killing gun for hire

Be a barb in the wire

Sing in the church choir

I just want to get clean

I don't want to be a thief in the night

Pretend I know wrong from right

Be in a fist fight

Do things you do not like

Lord, I just want to get clean
