Lyrics Tom Verlaine

Tom Verlaine

Clear It Away

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here

The main draw, as they say

But such contraction is hard to bear

Let's clear it away

I used to crack a lot of safes

Now, here I am dealing scrap

It's a living but not a life.

What a beautiful trap

Let's clear it away

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here

And there you are in search of novelty

You take a big bite of your appetite

And then you tell me that I'm starving - Oh no

Let's clear it away

Clear it away

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
