I'm grateful that you have let me know The perfume of your roses I'm amazed at how they have learned to grow In a swamp that has only known the darkness Wild dogs are fighting in the streets of the cities And our strangers are *** like puppets in a hurry You know, you know, you can count on me Everything feels better after the cloud I'll explode Scream out all your pain and let your fear break all its toys Yeah, we'll never run fast enough to silence your demon tongue But the sun will shine even for you You do remember the gasoline perfume In the back box of that pickup truck Now don't be shy of what the crooks have seen They will keep their mouths shut While the beliefs of a man is enough to have him killed And that children's a drug to keep calm instead of playing You know, you know, you can count on me Everything feels better after the cloud I'll explode Scream out all your pain and let your fear break all its toys Yeah, we'll never run fast enough to silence your demon tongue But the sun will shine even for you Don't infect the minds of brothers and make them fight And that women are sold and we are deaf to hear their cries You know, you know, you can count on me
