Joe Purdy - White Picket Fence lyrics
[Joe Purdy - White Picket Fence lyrics]
Mother come quick the doctor is sick
Lying there on the street
Circus Performers they all tried to warn
Us of the blistering heat
And there ain't no water so what is
The bother with trying to drink
What's the new plan when your medicine man
Has gone too dead to think
And I saw you looking out
I saw you looking at me
And that white picket fence that
You had as a kid
It ain't white anymore and the
Wood has gone bad
The streets are all empty, the
Stores have been picked clean
And the lights are all out
The doors are all closed, and
The windows all broken
And the buildings torn down
And the dogs own the night but they all lost
Their bite and they're too tired to growl
We tried throwing stones but you can't stop
The moans of that hovering crowd
I saw you crying out
I saw you crying at night
And that white picket fence that
You used to have
It ain't white anymore and the
Paint has gone bad
Well the drugs have worn
Off and there's blood
In your cough and your starting to turn
And the angels will rise as we
Blankly stare at their growing concern
And the preacher still preaches
From outside the
Steeple saying when will they learn
But the congregations gone they're
On the church
Lawn and they're watching it burn
I saw you screaming out
I saw you screaming out
And that white picket fence that you
Had when you were young
It ain't white anymore and the
Damage has been done
You're too sick to scream and the last of
Your dreams they got taken last night
And they're growing impatient now all of
The nations are starting to fight
And the mothers are crying
The children are dying
And you're losing your sight
Yeah and it won't be long
Now, we'll all be gone
Walking into the light
I saw you reaching out
I saw you reaching for me
And that white picket fence that
You had as a kid
It ain't shining anymore and
It never ever did
Lying there on the street
Circus Performers they all tried to warn
Us of the blistering heat
And there ain't no water so what is
The bother with trying to drink
What's the new plan when your medicine man
Has gone too dead to think
And I saw you looking out
I saw you looking at me
And that white picket fence that
You had as a kid
It ain't white anymore and the
Wood has gone bad
The streets are all empty, the
Stores have been picked clean
And the lights are all out
The doors are all closed, and
The windows all broken
And the buildings torn down
And the dogs own the night but they all lost
Their bite and they're too tired to growl
We tried throwing stones but you can't stop
The moans of that hovering crowd
I saw you crying out
I saw you crying at night
And that white picket fence that
You used to have
It ain't white anymore and the
Paint has gone bad
Well the drugs have worn
Off and there's blood
In your cough and your starting to turn
And the angels will rise as we
Blankly stare at their growing concern
And the preacher still preaches
From outside the
Steeple saying when will they learn
But the congregations gone they're
On the church
Lawn and they're watching it burn
I saw you screaming out
I saw you screaming out
And that white picket fence that you
Had when you were young
It ain't white anymore and the
Damage has been done
You're too sick to scream and the last of
Your dreams they got taken last night
And they're growing impatient now all of
The nations are starting to fight
And the mothers are crying
The children are dying
And you're losing your sight
Yeah and it won't be long
Now, we'll all be gone
Walking into the light
I saw you reaching out
I saw you reaching for me
And that white picket fence that
You had as a kid
It ain't shining anymore and
It never ever did
