Streets of West Memphis

Lyrics
[Verse 1] I'm a dangerous man Stole the library key Gonna sneak on in and set those words free Fan the fear, fan the fear Marketplace of ideas [Verse 2] Responsibility and power The freedom to cower In their life they tinker with the truth In dreams he loses tooth after tooth after tooth Divisible lines, hands move slowly through time Lavender and hope The tight turn of the rope [Chorus] Now I know Cruel wind blows a Southern tempest Down the streets of West Memphis Do you love me? Say you do All I have is my love for you Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain [Verse 3] American boy in alien form Flag on his shoulders is frayed and torn Talking heads speak with just one voice Land of the free, illusion of choice Night train and jailhouse wine Our gates sealed with emerald twine The thief is wired His story is tired Forgive me [Chorus] Now I know The lost paradise on the streets of Memphis Cold wind blows a Southern tempest Do you love me? Say you do All I have are my dreams of you Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain [Verse 4] The thief looks at himself in the mirror Recoils from a future that is clearer Believe me, deceive me Disney as Jefferson, Hallmark as Tennyson Fiction as history, futility as mystery An inconvenient truth The level playing field from an owner's booth Believe me, deceive me [Chorus] Now I know False paradise on the streets of Memphis Cold wind blows a Southern tempest Do you love me? Say you do All I have is my hope in you Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain
