Clean

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I once killed a man My worst enemy I hung him from A sweet-gum tree His rose-red sweat Washed over me I fell asleep and dreamed I had been made clean [Verse 2] I fell into A muddy river Its heart was cold Its taste was bitter It felt like death In the dead of winter Drowning all that's unredeemed How can I be clean? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] High on my ladder In Babylon I tried to speak, but The words were wrong Then I tasted fire (His rose-red sweat) And sang an Easter song (Washed over me) Can you tell me, Death Where is your sting? You have made me clean You have made me clean You have made me clean You have made me clean
