Oh come quick
the doctor is sick
on elm street
the circus performers
they all try to warn us
of the blistering heat
there ain't no water
so what is the bother
with tryin' to drink
what's the new plan
when your medicine man
is gone too dead to think
i saw you lookin at
i saw you lookin at me
oh i saw saw you lookin at
i saw you lookin at me
and that white picket fence
that you had as a kid
it ain't white any more
and the wood is goin' thin
the streets are all empty
the stores have been pick cleaned
and the lights are all out
the doors are all closed
and the windows all broken
the buildings torn down
and the dogs of the night
well they've all lost their b***
and they're too tired to growl
we tried throwing stones
but you can't stop them bones
of that hovering crowd
i saw you cryin' out
i saw you cryin' at night
oh i saw you cryin' out
oh i saw you cryin' at night
and that white picket fence
that you used to have
it aint white anymore
and the paint is goin' bad
well drugs have worn off
and there's blood in your car
and your'e starting to turn
drinkers will rise
as we blankly stare
at the growing conscern
and the preacher still preaches
from outside the steeple
sayin' when will they learn
but the congregation's gone
they're on the church lawn
and they're watchin' it burn
and i saw you screamin' out
oh i saw you screamin' out
yea and i saw you scream' out
i saw you screamin' out
and that white picket fence
that you had when you where young
it ain't white anymore
and the damage has been done
and i'm too sick to scream
and the last of your dreams
they got taken last night
they're growin and pacin'
and all of the nations
are starting to fight
and mothers are cryin'
their children are dyin'
and you're losin' your sight
and it wont be long now
we'll all be gone
walkin' into the light
i saw you reachin' out
i saw you reachin' for me
yea oh i saw you reachin' out
oh i saw you reachin' for me
and that white picket fence
that you had as a kid
it ain't shinin' any more
and it never ever did
never did
no it never did
no never did
no never never did
no never did
